"Flame" is a midtempo eighties-styled synth-pop track described as "slow burning", ^{[undefined] [undefined] [undefined]} incorporating fluffy synthesizers and pounding drums. It marks a stylistic departure from previous singles that Tinashe released in 2016, namely "Superlove" and "Company". The song's instrumentation was compared to "Style" by Taylor Swift. Lyrically, "Flame" talks about trying to save a relationship. ^{[undefined] [undefined]}

Mike Wass of Idolator gave "Flame" a positive review, writing that "I know some fans prefer Tee in eerie, alt-R&B mode, but I appreciate her willingness to bounce between genres. And 'Flame' isn't exactly fluff either. She's still delving into matters of the heart, albeit soundtracked by a perky pop beat." He concludes his review of the single by stating: "I don't think this is as memorable as 'Company' or as effortless as "All Hands on Deck", but it probably has the widest appeal and, after a year of delays, that's the whole." ^[undefined]

The song was chosen as a theme song for WWE's WrestleMania 33. ^[undefined]

The music video was released on April 21, 2017.
