They began making music together when Jonathan, who was at film school in Brussels, asked Guillaume to work with him on a music video soundtrack.
As a duo they took the name The Blaze. They have explained that in addition to the strength and warmth suggested by the name, it means "name" in French slang.
Their distinctive integrative method involves producing sound and visuals at the same time, creating an especially strong link between music and image.
In January 2016 they released their debut video, "Virile," on Brodinski's Bromance Records. It won the UK Music Video Award (UKMVA) for Best Alternative Video - International in 2016.
On 7 April 2017 they released their debut EP, Territory, on the new Animal 63 label (headed by management and publishing company Savoir Faire and Believe Digital). The EP's six tracks included "Virile" and "Territory." Their "Territory" music video, released in February 2017, produced and directed by themselves, won the Film Craft Grand Prix at the 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Best Director at the Berlin Music Video Awards and the Best International Dance Video UK MVA.
"Heaven," their third video, was released in February 2018. It captures an idyllic outdoor scene amid a community of family and friends. "Heaven" was the final instalment of the video triptych.
Their 2018 touring schedule included European and US festivals including Coachella, Primavera Sound, the Roskilde Festival, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork Paris, Parklife, Lovebox, and Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Their debut full-length album Dancehall was released in September 2018. Its 10 tracks include the single "Heaven," along with the singles "She" and "Faces" which were released in summer 2018.

The Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's why you lookin' me sideways when you do it
We don't need to know that you tried
If I hear that, well, then you gon' give me that twice
Love runnin' me signs and you know it
'Cause you move and you step direct
We don't need to know that you tried
Would you do it all for me?
Don't move like nobody
Better not dance with nobody
Move away quick like Ferrari
It's only right, that you're mine and shine
Don't give a chance to nobody
Gonna just dip like Ferrari
Where is your heart? Must be somewhere
I don't want you to go nowhere
Where are you going? I don't know where
Shut the door 'cause you're going nowhere
All these, all these games will get you nowhere
All these games will get you nowhere
Where's your love? It must be somewhere
Where's your love? It must be somewhere
Yeah, it's somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
It is somewhere
Never wanted no one else, no one can take your place
Your man keep talking, come and say it to my face
Spend all my money, but I got millions on the way
All of these hunnids but you put all of that to shame
Sometimes I'm hungry but I won't put you at stake
Never fake, what kind is flake up on display
We dance 'til the morning but we don't wanna see the day
Take it all from me 'cause I got millions on the way
Where is your heart? Must be somewhere
I don't want you to go nowhere
Where are you going? I don't know where
Shut the door 'cause you're going nowhere
All these, all these games will get you nowhere
All these games will get you nowhere
Where's your love? It must be somewhere
Where's your love? It must be somewhere
And in my mind she left me outside
You can only be mine, you can only be mine
Oh my, look, we're runnin' out of time
You can only be mine, you can only be mine
Fuck sake, if you love me, bitch just say it
So put yourself at stake,'cause I got too much on my plate
Honestly believe in love and I'm fake
You can only be mine, you can only be mine
The Blaze's song "Somewhere" revolves around the themes of love and trust, with the lyrics emphasizing the importance of loyalty in a relationship. The song speaks to the idea that trust needs to be earned, and one cannot deceive their partner and get away with it. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer knows the other person better than they think, implying that they cannot hide anything from them. The lyrics also suggest that the singer wants their partner to be theirs entirely, without any distractions or temptations.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Where is your heart? It must be somewhere," suggesting that the singer is unsure if their partner is fully committed to the relationship. The lyrics also talk about how love can be intense, with the line "We dance 'til the morning but we don't wanna see the day" implying that the couple is so infatuated with each other that they don't want their time together to end. The song ends with the singer expressing their love and desire for their partner, urging them to be honest about their feelings and not hold back.
Overall, "Somewhere" is a heartfelt and emotional song that explores the complexities of love and trust in relationships. It encourages openness, honesty, and loyalty in a way that is both vulnerable and inspiring.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't need to see your other side, I know it
I already know the different faces you put on, so no need to keep pretending and looking at me sideways
We don't need to know that you tried
Failure doesn't matter to us, we only care about success
Love runnin' me signs and you know it
You constantly show me small signs of affection and I appreciate it
You said that you love me
You've expressed your love to me before
Would you do it all for me?
Are you willing to do everything for me?
Don't move like nobody
Don't act married to anyone else but me
Better not dance with nobody
You're exclusively mine and shouldn't share intimacy with anyone else
Move away quick like Ferrari
Leave quickly like a sports car if you can't commit fully to the relationship
It's only right, that you're mine and shine
You belong to me and you stand out from the rest
Gonna just dip like Ferrari
I'll leave swiftly like a sports car
Where is your heart? Must be somewhere
Your heart is elsewhere, it feels absent and distant
I don't want you to go nowhere
I don't want you to leave me
All these, all these games will get you nowhere
Playing around with love will only lead you to heartbreak
Where's your love? It must be somewhere
Your love should exist somewhere, but I don't quite see it
Yeah, it's somewhere
Your love isn't completely absent, I just don't see it clearly
Never wanted no one else, no one can take your place
I only want you and I don't believe anyone else can replace you
Your man keep talking, come and say it to my face
I'm tired of your partner talking behind my back, they should confront me directly
Spend all my money, but I got millions on the way
Despite spending all my money, I'm still not broke, I have more coming in soon
All of these hunnids but you put all of that to shame
Even with lots of money around me, you are still the most valuable thing in my life
Sometimes I'm hungry but I won't put you at stake
Even when I'm desperate or struggling, I won't risk losing you
Never fake, what kind is flake up on display
I'll never be fake or pretend with you, I'm always transparent
We dance 'til the morning but we don't wanna see the day
We don't care about time or anything else while we're enjoying ourselves together
Take it all from me 'cause I got millions on the way
You can have everything I have because more is on the way
And in my mind she left me outside
In my thoughts, you've left me behind emotionally
Oh my, look, we're runnin' out of time
We don't have much time left to fix our issues
Fuck sake, if you love me, bitch just say it
Stop playing games, if you love me simply express it
So put yourself at stake,'cause I got too much on my plate
I have a lot on my mind, so if you're willing to risk it all then go ahead
Honestly believe in love and I'm fake
I promise to be honest about my love, even though I may come across as fake in other ways
You can only be mine
I don't want anyone else to have you, you are mine
