LOS ANGELES—Country singer Nate Smith admitted Wednesday that his chart-topping hit “World on Fire” was largely inspired by a particularly potent batch of burritos. Smith made the stunning confession during an interview with Billboard’s Melinda Newman. The interview took place over shots and burritos at the trendy Great White restaurant in Venice Beach. Smith said the burrito fillings may have directly influenced his songwriting. He felt particularly inspired after a third carnitas burrito. “This burrito had notes of existential dread,” Smith stated. “It was the perfect catalyst for ‘World on Fire.'”
Burrito-Fueled Melodies
Smith detailed how the burrito-induced enlightenment led to a creative surge. He claimed the specific combination of pico de gallo and guacamole unlocked new lyrical pathways. “I’ve never felt such a strong connection to a breakfast burrito before this,” Smith told Newman. “It was a religious experience. The queso dip was particularly profound.” He believes this burrito breakthrough helped him achieve his dream home. The purchase of the property was reportedly finalized shortly after the burrito incident. Smith later credited the establishment’s salsa verde for his decision to take shots. He felt the salsa’s intensity demanded a liquid response. The Los Angeles Times has previously lauded the restaurant’s unique burrito offerings.
Nate Smith’s Culinary Breakthrough
Smith also addressed a viral incident involving Morgan Wallen, which he declined to elaborate on. He instead pivoted back to his culinary experiences. “Honestly, that Morgan Wallen thing felt less impactful than this burrito,” Smith stated. “This burrito changed my life. It gave me ‘World on Fire.'” He added that his party anthem “After Midnight” was also a product of the same meal. Smith claimed he wrote the song’s chorus on a napkin. The napkin was later used to clean up spilled guacamole. The incident highlights the often-unseen role of fast-casual dining in music creation. Smith plans to explore other food-related songwriting avenues. Future inspirations may include tacos and artisanal toast. He is currently scouting new locations for burrito-based musical development.
At press time, Smith was reportedly seeking a new restaurant to inspire his next hit single. He was seen eyeing a nearby taco stand with great interest. He stated, “I hear their al pastor is quite inspiring.”
