"BURN" is a song by ¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign) that was released as the ninth track from their debut studio album, VULTURES 1 (2024).[1]
Production[]
The song heavily samples Band of Thieves' 1976 song, "Love Me or Leave Me".[2]
Background[]
According to producer Azul, the song was created by him, Beam, Chrishan, and Rissi during the first session in a week-long music camp held by Warner Campbell in 2023. Azul instantly thought of Ye when he heard the track, so Beam sent it to Ty, who was working on Beach House 4 in Japan. After Ty played the song to Ye, he loved it and proposed the idea of a collaborative album between the two.[3] According to Ty, it was the first song made by him and Ye for their album.[4]
It was also seen on several Bad Bitch Play Book tracklists from the Italy sessions.[5] However, it was not included in the track list posted by Ty on December 8, 2023.[6] Several snippets of the song were leaked on January 1, 2024, and the entire song was leaked four days later.[7] When the song was previewed in the third VULTURES 1 listening party at Chicago, newer drums were added, Ty's verse was removed, and Ye also sang the "Your love is dangerous" line along with Ty.[8]
Lyrics[]
[Refrain]
Her body like the wild, wild west
What if you don't bow down? Yeah
Ridin' in the wind, God bless
She's an inferno, it's a hell of a time
[Chorus]
Burnin' like a candlelight
Your love is dangerous
Your love is, my love is
Our love is
Burnin' like a candlelight (Are you not entertained?)
Your love is dangerous
Your love is, my love is (Are you not entertained?)
Our love is
[Verse]
Who's not entertained by my pain?
Who ain't cash a check off my name?
When my campaign turned to cam-pain
I burned eight billion to take off my chains
Burn, baby, burn
Sometimes it hurts, I guess I never learned
To who it may concern, the CEO of the firm
Is now somewhere smoking sherm with Big Worm
Man, a couple wrong turns
Could fry you forever, it's a permanent burn
You charging for cookie, that's bang for your buck
If you kissin' on the mouth, you ain't charging enough
You heard I was flyin' 'em out
They was tryin' for clout, I was dyin' of gout
Man, the world gone mad
Heard R. Kelly in the next Balenciaga ad
[Chorus]
Burnin' like a candlelight (Burn)
Your love is dangerous
Your love is, my love is
Our love is
Burnin' like a candlelight
Your love is dangerous
Your love is, my love is
Our love is
[Refrain]
Her body like the wild, wild west
What if you don't bow down? Yeah
Ridin' in the wind, God bless
She's an inferno, it's a hell of a time
