"Burn" is a song written by Tina Arena, Pam Reswick, and Steve Werfel for Arena's third album, In Deep (1997). The song was successful in her native Australia, reaching number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and earning a gold sales certification. At the time of its release, "Burn" was Australia's fastest-added single to radio. Arena also recorded the song in Italian, titled "Ti voglio qui". It was released as a single in several European countries.

In 2000, "Burn" was covered by American country music singer Jo Dee Messina and her version reached number two on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Critical reception

A reviewer from Billboard magazine described "Burn" as a "beautiful love song", adding that Arena "has glorious pipes, a charismatic presence, and the song-writing savvy of a lifelong hitmaker." Sunday Mirror commented, "She's got a huge pair of lungs for a tiny lass, and this power ballad fair simmers."

Music video

A music video was made to accompany the song. It was directed by Pierre Baroni. In the beginning, Arena is seen performing surrounded by water. Later, the singer performs towards a blue heaven with skies. In between, there are black-and-white clips, depicting different people in different ages.

"Ti voglio qui" is the Italian version of "Burn", translated by Fabrizio V Zee Grossi. As an alternate-language version of a hit single, this release lacked substantial mainstream appeal and therefore failed to make any significant commercial impact. Despite being released at the same time, the two songs are often credited as the first and second singles from the In Deep album. It is credited as a single released from this album due to its connection to "Burn" and the two songs' simultaneous releases, despite being a non-album track. This quickly made its limited CD single a highly sought-after collector's item, as it was the only way to obtain this song until it was re-released on the limited edition 2CD version of the Greatest Hits 1994-2004 album. The song can still be purchased from a number of Australian legal music download services.

The video was filmed at Boldt Castle, located in the Thousand Islands region of New York.
