"Burn" is a R&B song written by American singers/rappers and songwriters Usher Raymond, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox for Usher's fourth studio album Confessions (2004). The song was produced by Dupri and Cox and originally planned to be released as the album's lead single - instead of the promo single "Yeah!". However, eventually released as the second single from the album in March 2004 , the track once again topped various charts around the world, include the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks.
At the top of the Billboard chart it followed another song from the same album: "Yeah!" by Usher featuring Lil' Jon and Ludacris. It was knocked off the top spot for one week by "I Believe" by Fantasia Barrino, then returned for one last week. Finally it was replaced by yet another Usher single, "Confessions Part II". The Song was nominated for two Grammy Awards: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance & Best R&B Song.
