"Burn the House Down" is a song by American indie pop band AJR. It was released on March 23, 2018 from their second studio album The Click deluxe edition.

Background[]

AJR created the song for two reasons: to reflect the current position of American politics and to help create the theme song for Morgan Spurlock’s newest documentary, “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!.”[1]

Morgan Spurlock reached out to the band on Twitter, AJR wrote an uptempo track after watching Supersize Me 2: Holy Chicken, and said: We wanted to create a song that captured that passion. If enough underdogs band together, real change can happen, and we wanted to help inspire that change in ‘Burn the House Down’.[1]
