“Burn” is a song by English recording artist Ellie Goulding from Halcyon Days (2013), the reissue of her second studio album, Halcyon (2012). Originally a demo by Leona Lewis, “Burn” was released by Goulding in July 2013 as the lead single from the reissue.

Upon its release, “Burn” was met with a mixed response from music critics. They recognized that it may be the “radio-friendly” hit she needed, but questioned whether it would be the “pivotal track which will elevate her career even further in the mainstream radio world.”

It sold 116,857 copies in its first week and became Goulding’s first number-one single on the UK Singles Chart, where it would stay for three consecutive weeks.

The track achieved similar success internationally, reaching the top ten in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand and Sweden. It was Goulding’s third single to reach the top twenty in the United States.
