BURN IT DOWN

About This Song

Australia’s highest-selling female country artist and 5 x Golden Guitar Finalist Hayley Jensen ignites a bold new era with her explosive country pop/rock anthem ‘BURN IT DOWN’. The fiery new single dropped just in time for Jensen’s debut performance at CMC Rocks QLD, Australia’s largest international country music festival, marking another milestone in a career that continues to surge both at home and abroad. ‘BURN IT DOWN’ signals the start of a powerful new chapter following the release of Hayley’s second ARIA #1 Country Album, ‘Country Soul’, in late 2025 on her independent label. ‘Country Soul’ became the highest-selling female country album in Australia, ranking #2 overall across the genre behind James Johnston, and continues to feature weekly in the ARIA Top 5 Australian Country Album Chart. Produced by award-winning producer Liam Quinn (Guy Sebastian, Peach PRC, James Johnston, Rachel Fahim, Sara Berki) and co-written with Australian country-rock breakout Josh Setterfield and Canadian songwriter Craig Brooks, ‘BURN IT DOWN’ pairs gritty guitars and driving percussion with a stadium-sized chorus built for festival singalongs. The track is a fearless anthem about drawing a line in the sand, silencing doubt, and turning every “no” into fuel - delivering a high-voltage declaration of self-belief with blazing momentum. “‘BURN IT DOWN’ is about taking everything that tried to hold you back and turning it into rocket fuel! It’s about the moment you stop playing small, stop holding back, stop asking for permission, and choose to rise up in your own power. I want it to be an anthem of fearless resilience - giving everyone who hears it the feeling that they are unstoppable!” says Jensen.
