Composition

Lyrically, the song finds Juice Wrld discussing his battle with substance abuse, addiction and anxiety, being "cursed since birth", looking for truth in his life, and that his success and wealth cannot solve these problems. [1] [2] over production which features "gunshot-punctuated percussion" and 808s. [3]

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews from critics. Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of HipHopDX wrote, "The galactic twinkle of Metro Boomin's production on opener 'Burn' serves as the perfect catalyst for Juice musing whether his substance abuse has warped his perception of reality." [4] Writing for Rolling Stone , Will Dukes commented that the song "feels like a modern-day equivalent to psychedelic '90s journeymen P.M. Dawn on a track by DJ Premier. The contrasts, while thrilling, don't seem too shocking today. But Juice WLRD hails from the same family tree as P.M. Dawn, who were denounced decades ago for their emo image, bright harmonies, and the kind of content that made Juice WRLD such a beloved figure. 'Burn' is all ragged feels ('This remind me of hell, sometimes I wonder if that's where God really sent me') made melodic. And it’s a testament, thankfully, to how times have changed—that, in his passing, kids in Juice WRLD's axis have a safe space to vent without having their agency challenged." [3]

Music video

The official music video was released on December 10, 2022 alongside Fighting Demons. It shows footage of Juice Wrld rapping to the song in the studio, [2] [5] in the company of his friends. [6] The clip is also interspersed with people running for shelter from asteroids bringing the apocalypse. [5] [6] Los Angeles burns under the attack and the Earth explodes at the end of the video.
