Composition edit

"Ignite" is a reimagining of K391's 2015 hit "Godzilla". It was then in 2017 reworked for a promotion of the launch of the Sony Xperia XZs smartphone. An article mentioned: "“Ignite,” is quite an explosive, and heartwarming concoction. With a full injection of pitched-up, memorable synth progressions and passionate verses by Julie Bergan."[2]

Music video edit

Ignite was consisted of 7 different video on youtube, the main video, music video, depicts three young people stuck in various troubles – bullies continually picked on one and haunted their daily life; another despised their work with waste management; and a third was harassed by a boss about not working hard or fast enough. However, they each found a set of headphones that took them to a destination that relieved them of their struggles, and helped them find their true happiness at last.[3]
