Despite diminishing success in the United States as the decade progressed, the band remained very popular in Asia, mainly in countries like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. FireHouse continued to release new material throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, most of which has successfully charted in Japan. The band has also continued to tour internationally as of 2007, having participated twice in the annual Rock Never Stops Tour with other bands of the 1980s. FireHouse is estimated to have sold over 6 million albums worldwide since their debut.
In December 2004, FireHouse became the first major international rock band to play concert dates in northeast India.[7] The band's first Indian concert date was in Shillong, followed by two more dates in Dimapur, and Aizawl.[7] The band's first Indian date, in Shillong When the Maharaja of Tripura Kirit Pradyot Deb Burman invited them, took place in front of a sold out stadium crowd of over 40,000, setting a record for that city.[5] The band toured in 2005, 2006, and launched another tour in 2007 visiting states in the Midwest United States such as North Dakota and playing at several festivals including Rocklahoma.[8] In a March 2007 interview, when asked about the band's next album, guitarist Bill Leverty said "we plan on going into the studio this coming winter. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get all the songs together and record them for a spring/summer release."[2] Regarding the future of the band, C.J. Snare commented that "this has been an incredible, incredible career. To do something that you love, to be an artist, to be an entertainer and to actually go out there and have fans all over the world and be able to make a living at it. As long as that's perpetuated, I don’t see any reason to ever stop."[5]
Band members
Originally composed of vocalist C.J. Snare, guitarist Bill Leverty, drummer Michael Foster, and bassist Perry Richardson, the band has maintained all of its original members with the exception of Richardson, who departed in 2000 due to conflict. Richardson was initially replaced by Bruce Waibel, but Waibel left in 2003 to spend more time with his family. Dario Seixas was brought on board to play bass on the band's 2003 album Prime Time, but he parted ways with the band shortly after the album was released. Current bassist Allen McKenzie was given the position in 2004.[3]
Guitarist Bill Leverty and C.J. Snare have both pursued solo careers, but neither have let their solo projects interfere with the band's studio and touring efforts. Leverty has released two solo albums; Wanderlust in 2004 and Southern Exposure in 2007, and when asked if he would ever tour in support of them, he said that it would be "extremely selfish" to do so while putting the band on hold.[9] Snare has commented in several interviews that he is working on a solo album, but such an album has yet to materialize.[5] Drummer Michael Foster has participated in Leverty's solo career by playing drums on both of his albums.

Write me a letter, drop me a line

The lyrics to Firehouse's song Get In Touch seem to be from the perspective of someone who is away from their significant other and desperately missing them. The repetition of "got to get in touch" emphasizes the urgency of the singer's desire to be in contact with their partner. The lines "I need your touch, so much" and "I miss you every night and day" demonstrate the intensity of their longing. The second verse incorporates sexual desire, with the singer stating "Ooh I need your lovin' and I need your sex" and then humorously suggesting that their partner send it via FedEx.
The chorus serves as a reminder that even though the two are physically separated, the singer still thinks about their partner every day and looks forward to the moment when they can be "skin to skin" again. The final verse repeats the various ways the singer can be reached, emphasizing their eagerness to be in contact with their loved one. The song is ultimately a straightforward expression of love and desire, with a catchy chorus that emphasizes the urgency of the singer's longing.
