"Fuel" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, and was released as the third single from their seventh album, Reload (1997). The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1999 but lost to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for the song "Most High". It was moderately successful on the music charts, peaking at number two in Australia, number three in Hungary, number five in Finland and number six on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
"Fuel" is one of the songs Metallica perform most live. It has featured on the live albums Cunning Stunts, S&M, Français Pour une Nuit, Orgullo, Pasión, y Gloria: Tres Noches en la Ciudad de México, Live at Grimey's and Through The Never.
A demo version of the song called "Fuel for Fire" (with different lyrics) was used as the theme song for NASCAR on NBC from 2001 until the 2004 Daytona 500.[3] The song was also featured in the video game Fortnite in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Trailer and in Fortnite Festival.[4]
