“Making the song choices for this project was tricky,” Miesha Louie, one half of Calgary's Miesha and the Spanks, tells Apple Music. “We aren’t the kind of band that strips down very often. We wanted to make sure whatever we did was still going to be us.” For a band that’s not used to paring back, The Stooges’ very-not-pared-back proto-punk classic “I Wanna Be Your Dog” might sound like a tough one to tackle for their Apple Music Home Session. "I wanted to play something older that was formative in our music journeys, something that played a part in the sound we make now,” Louie says. “I think hearing that song for the first time can be sort of revolutionary and menacing, especially when you’re a teen and you’re a little bit lost in the world. That was my experience: grade 7 or 8 and full of angst.” But choosing their own song to cover? “That was a little harder,” she says. “That decision actually came days before we got into the studio; it maybe even happened on the plane home from Pouzza Fest—a huge punk festival in Montreal—which definitely influenced how we recorded ‘Heart Is On Fire.’ It is straight out of an acoustic punk-rock sing-along, and we wanted to lean right into that, with handclaps, feet stomps, and urgency. The song is all about feeling like you can do anything when your heart’s lit up, and as we were still buzzing from the community and raw power of such a sick festival, this felt like the best way to record our song.”
