在2006年Fireflight全美发行《The Healing of Harms》专辑之前，曾经自己发行过一张专辑及一张EP。这支乐队曾经多年巡演，被喻为“永不疲惫的马路战士”。他们都是直率的摇滚人，这支来自阳光之州佛罗里达的乐队在现场表演中不乏刚硬力作。吉他手Justin Cox说：“我们的音乐尽可能的重，但并不是金属”。乐队创作的自然旋律令《The Healing of Harms》登上了Christian rock榜单的 No.1，其中“等待”和“你决定”还成为榜单前10名的歌曲。这支当初由鼓手Phee Shorb牵头组成的乐队，巧妙地利用在巡回演出中积累的经验为《The Healing of Harms》注入活力，而新发行的《Unbreakable》也是他们在旅行路中才思泉涌而写成的。
Dawn说：“有时候就好像所有的事情都失去了控制。曾经有一年我们过得很艰难，我们的感情起起落落。在写新专辑的时候，我们基本上就是住在一辆厢式货车里，就像把我们放进了一个高压锅。当你离开自己的安乐窝时，压力就会更大，写作的强度也很大。我们在音乐中倾注了自己所有的希望，悲伤，愤怒，梦想以及恐惧。”
而Justin则补充说：“今年，乐队的每个人都经历了很多事情，这张专辑确实触碰到我们每个人曾经经历的情感历程。”
在第二张专辑发行前，Justin痛苦地结束了一段长期的恋爱关系。由于乐队整日巡演，每个人都很想念自己的家人和朋友，而Justin的痛苦使他们感同身受。然而，乐队找到了一个沟通彼此情感的方法，那就是他们的歌，这些歌曾经启发了他们自己，现在他们要用这些歌启发自己的歌迷。
Beginning in 2006, upon signing to Flicker Records after a couple independent releases, Fireflight became one of the most popular bands on Christian rock radio. The female-fronted band's style of rock is fairly heavy, bordering on metal, and is reminiscent of other popular female-fronted rock bands of the time, such as Paramore and Evanescence. The band is based in Orlando, FL, and tours the United States extensively, reportedly performing an estimated 140 shows per year. Founded in Eustis, FL, in 1999, Fireflight are comprised of Dawn Richardson (vocals), Justin Cox (guitar), Glenn Drennen (guitar), Wendy Drennen (bass), and Phee Shorb (drums). The band independently recorded and released its debut album, Glam-Rok (2002), produced by guitarist Justin Cox. The five-track EP On the Subject of Moving Forward followed in 2004, leading to a recording contract offer from Flicker Records. The band's first Flicker release, The Healing of Harms (2006), was produced by Skidd Mills and became a major hit in the Christian rock community, reaching number 37 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. The album spawned a pair of Christian rock radio hit singles, "You Decide" and "Waiting," the latter of which reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart. The band's second Flicker release, Unbreakable (2008), proved even more popular. Produced by Rob Hawkins, it reached number 15 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and spawned another big Christian rock radio hit in the title track. Promoted via the Bionic Woman television series, "Unbreakable" peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.
