Digital Spy rated the song four stars out of five, describing it as "a truly stirring single that will be a definite highlight on their winter arena tour". "Sex on Fire" received generally positive reviews. The song is played in the key of E major at a tempo of 153 bpm. Nathan also said that some lyrics tried were "Socks on Fire", "Snatch on Fire" and "Cocks on Fire". It was actually going to be "Set Us on Fire", but one of the sound mixers in the studio walked in as we were playing and said, "'Sex on Fire', huh?" And it just kind of became a running joke, and we stuck with it. Depending on whether a song starts with a melody or starts with lyrics, you know if it starts with a melody you just keep playing the melody over and over until you get it down and just throw in any lyrics that fit the verbal flow. In an interview with Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor on Australian radio station Triple J, Nathan Followill explained that the band never intended the song to be named "Sex on Fire" and that it was not intended to be about sexuality. The song was written about lead singer Caleb's then-girlfriend (and now-wife), model Lily Aldridge. Remixes of both songs were used for the runway soundtrack in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Following the success of the follow-up single " Use Somebody" in the United States on pop radio, the track was re-serviced to US pop radio in November. It was voted number one in Triple J Hottest 100 countdown for 2008. Channel V Australia named the song as the third biggest hit of 2008.
