Burnin' It Down

"Burnin' It Down" is a song recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean and written by Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins and Florida Georgia Line members Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. It was released in July 2014 as the first single from his Aldean's 2014 album Old Boots, New Dirt. The song won the "Top Country Song" category at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. The song is a midtempo ballad about a sexual encounter with a lover. Aldean told Country Music Television (CMT) that he considered the song "baby making music". He also felt that it was a different song style for him due to it being more sexual in nature and featuring a drum loop. During its first week in release, the song sold 184,000 downloads in the United States and debuted at #42 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. In its second week, the song moved from #42 to #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. On September 29, 2014, the song was certified Platinum by the RIAA just nine weeks after release, becoming the fastest single of 2014 to do that. It reached its millionth sales mark in October 2014. As of April 2015, the song has sold 1,589,000 copies in the US. In Canada, the song sold 15,000 downloads in its debut week. Read more on Last.fm.
