Background and composition

"Burn" was written by Taj Jackson, Jonas Jeberg, and Mich Hansen and was produced by Jeberg and Cutfather. [3] It was made available for digital purchase on 17 November 2008. [4] A digital extended play with an additional track and two remixes of "Burn", was released on 24 November. [5] "Burn" is an R&B-dance track, that incorporates electronica influences. [6] [7] The song is written in the key of F minor. [8] Lyrically, it features Mauboy singing to a cheating lover, "Look what you did to me / I need a doctor, cos this is starting to burn!". [6]

A writer for muumuse.com wrote about the composition and production of the release, "'Burn' is quite modern in terms of production, and equally addictive upon replay. It's a bit more up-tempo, a bit more stomptastic, and the chorus is quite ear-friendly. Still loving her voice. Very Alesha-esque, minus the more grating cat-like yelps that often plague a typical Dixon track. Oh, and she's only 19 years old, which makes her sort of like the superior, Australian version of Jordin Sparks, no?" [9]

Reception

Critical response

Nick Bond of MTV Australia wrote that the song is "worthy of Rihanna". [6] Davey Boy of Sputnikmusic compared "Burn" to Mauboy's previous single "Running Back", writing it "is almost as good with its restrained use of electronica combining with a contagious chorus to result in a song which will be just as at home on radio as it is in the clubs." [7] Dung Le of Mediasearch found "Burn" more "catchier" than "Running Back" and noted that its R&B grooves and catchy chorus will set "Jessica up well for a big assault in 2009 and a possible overseas release." [10] "Burn" was awarded an ARIA No. 1 Chart Award for reaching number one on the ARIA Singles Chart. [11] At the 2009 Deadly Awards, "Burn" won 'Single of the Year'. [12] It was nominated for 'Highest Selling Single' at the 2009 ARIA Music Awards, but her previous single "Running Back" took that title. [13] "Burn" became the fourth most-played song on Australian radio stations by February 2009. [14]

In February 2009, "Burn" was removed from most Melbourne contemporary hit radios playlists because of its title and the Victorian bushfires that occurred during the time. [14] Mauboy's manager David Champion said that Mauboy understood and supported the decision, saying: "Jessica is very mindful of the terribly traumatic situation that is occurring in Victoria. She does not want in any way to add to people's distress." [14] Program director of 91.5 FM added that: "We have removed several songs from our line-up out of respect for the victims caught up in the tragedy. Even though these songs had nothing to do with the bushfires, they were a reflection of it." [14]

Chart performance

"Burn" debuted at number 30 on the ARIA Singles Chart on 1 December 2008. [15] After climbing the chart for seven consecutive weeks, "Burn" peaked at number one on 19 January 2009 and became Mauboy's first number-one single in Australia. [15] It was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for selling 70,000 copies. [16] It also became Mauboy's first charting single internationally when it reached number 92 on the Japan Hot 100 on 25 April 2009. [17] [18]
