LITTLE ROCK, AR – September 17, 2024 – 1.5 million-streaming country artist, Pamela Hopkins returns with her latest single, “Burn It Down,” set to release on September 27, 2024. Co-written with Dave Lenahan and Scott Barrier, this track takes listeners on an emotional journey through the story of a scorned woman finding empowerment in the face of betrayal.
“Burn It Down” tells the tale of a woman who, after being cheated on, decides to reclaim her self-worth and walk away from the relationship. Unlike the typical revenge narrative, this story emphasizes empowerment and moving forward. The protagonist doesn’t want revenge; she wants a fresh start, and she decides to leave behind everything she built with her unfaithful partner—literally setting their shared life on fire and watching it burn to the ground. The song captures this cathartic release with Hopkins’ powerful vocals and vivid storytelling.
Pamela Hopkins shares, “This song is very much about finding strength in a difficult situation. It’s inspired by a real-life event, though I can’t delve into the personal details out of respect for those involved. Let’s just say, the idea for this song came from a close person’s experience—minus the fire, of course! But sometimes, wishful thinking can be a powerful source of creativity.”
You can have my man
But I’ll be damned
if you’ll get anything of mine
You should’ve known betraying me’s
like throwing a match on kerosene
I ain’t afraid to send it up in flames
Bet your ass I’m goin’ out in a blaze
Have fun sifting through the cinders of the bed you made…
After I burn it down!
With her signature blend of country grit and emotional storytelling, Hopkins delivers a track that resonates with anyone who has faced betrayal and come out stronger on the other side.
