Content

"Burning Gold" is a pop rock song with a moderate tempo and a duration of three minutes and forty-four seconds. It is composed in the key of G major, with a vocal range of E3—E5. As with previous single, "Human", the song's instrumentation consists primarily of piano, but "Burning Gold" also incorporates a ukulele and drums. Mike Wass at Idolator compared the song favorably to contemporary Sara Bareilles' hit "Brave" due to its "uplifting" subject matter and "infectious" arrangement.
