The music video for "Flames" was released on 30 May 2019.
Reception
Kat Bein from 'Billboard' said "'Flames' is smooth and funky, with a slow-jam melody that wafts over a menacing, '80s-style synth rhythm. There are bright moments of almost hymnal quality at the pre-chorus, but the fiery elements lick back up the sides to slow burn the vibe.
Juliette Stuart from 'Coup de Main Magazine' said "The track is chill yet remains upbeat and maiden with synths it manages to be funky yet calm."
RJ Frometa from 'Vents Magazine' called the song "a sure fire song of the summer with Ruel's soulful vocals dancing atop SG's layered production".
Alissa Arunarsirakul from 'Ones to Watch' called the song "electrifying" saying "'Flames' incorporates Ruel's tender vocals and Lewis' warm electronics that remind us of peaceful sunrises after a night of good fun and treasured memories."
