Faktor sukses global Ellie Goulding adalah penerimaan. Masyarakat mampu menerima musiknya yang unik dan berciri khas. Sehingga tidak berat bagi dirinya untuk menjadi diri sendiri tanpa harus khawatir melangkah salah arah. Tapi bagaimana dengan 'Burn'? Single terbaru yang dicanangkan rilis sebagai andalan dari rilisan ulang album keduanya "Halcyon". Single yang memang apik ini menyematkan kesan komersil yang mendalam, membuat pandangan mengerucut pada konsepsi "jualan" yang sangat jelas.
I won't blame her. Ketika melihat nama Ryan Tedder dan Greg Kurstin terlibat dalam penggodokannya, dari situ asal muasal komersialitasnya. 'Burn' terdengar begitu mainstream, mengalir dalam arus musik populer. Ini membuat sebongkah kekecewaan hadir, mengingat Ellie menciptakan arusnya sendiri sejak 'Lights' membahana. Dance factor-nya adalah hal lain dari single berdurasi kurang dari empat menit ini yang kontras dengan imej si penyanyi. Yes she's into electronica, but not this kinda thing. 'Burn' seolah mencemari tatanan musik yang sudah terbentuk.
Tapi, fakta lain yang bisa menyeimbangi ketidakbiasaan tadi adalah 'Burn' sebagai sebuah lagu yang super nikmat, uber fun, undoubtly catchy. Sajian vokal angelic dalam progress musik hedon membuatnya tampil di baris atas ke-mainstream-annya. When you wanna dance all night, you can count on it. Pesta dijamin panas ketika 'Burn' mulai diperdengarkan. We don't wanna leave, we just wanna be right now.

LYRIC
We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing
'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race
When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We don't wanna leave, no, we just wanna be right now,r-r-right now
And what we see, is everybody's on the floor acting crazy getting loco til the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it up
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, no secret now
When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Burn burn
Burn burn burn burn
Burn burn
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn
