James Taylor wrote "Fire and Rain" about a year after he was admitted to a mental hospital to treat his drug addiction. The song refers to two significant events in his life at that time: a fire in his Carolinas home, which destroyed everything he owned, and the death of his friend and label mate, Danny Kortchmar.

"Fire and Rain" was released in 1970 on James Taylor's self-titled album, which was a commercial and critical success. The song became one of Taylor's most popular hits, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, voted "Song of the Year" at the Grammy Awards.
