Is "meter la mano en el fuego" a Spanish expression? I was listening to a song and the lyrics said "Que por ti yo no meto la mano en el fuego." What does this mean?

Is an expression that is often used sometimes. They say when you have complete confidence in another person or to ensure the truth or certainty of something. And when someone does not confidence anything or anyone says: no meto la mano en el fuego por... (nada ni nadie)

Pop it into the translator above. I don't know if it is an oft used phrase but the literal meaning conveys the sentiment.
