Jake Scott has shared his new single ‘Burn’ featuring Jake Scott – their first collaboration together.
Platinum pop singer-songwriter Jake Scott today unveiled an emotionally charged new standalone single Burn featuring John K. It notably marks the first collaboration between Jake and John, uniting two of 21st century pop’s most endearing and engaging voices. Available today on all streaming platforms, Burn examines a couple’s mutual decision to start a relationship over—together. Carrying the harmony together, the chorus catches fire with a plea, “The only way we can survive, baby we gotta burn this down, if we’re gonna make it out.”
About the single, Jake commented, “The first day John K and I met, we realised we live incredibly similar lives. We hit it off talking about our families and the importance of vulnerability in relationships. It’s hard but crucial. “Burn” is all about that.”
John added, “’Burn’ is a letter we wrote to our wives. We wanted the song to talk about what it takes to build a long lasting and healthy relationship. ‘I don’t want mercy, I’d rather you hurt me and tell me the truth. I know we can make it through.’ It’s about not being afraid to have the tough conversations. It’s about honesty and having a deep-rooted commitment to making it through anything.”
This one-off collaboration lands in the wake of the fan favourite Married Young which will appear on Scott’s anticipated, forthcoming debut album Lavender, which is due out later this year on Elektra Entertainment. The LA by-way-of Fayetteville native is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the effort with more details on the album to be revealed soon.
