Burnin' Up (Faith Evans song)

"Burnin' Up" is a song by American recording artist Faith Evans featuring American rapper Loon, taken up from the former's third studio album, Faithfully (2001). It was composed by Evans, Chauncey Hawkins, and The Neptunes members Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams.

Released to mainstream markets as a remix featuring female rapper Missy Elliott, and as the fourth single from Faithfully, it became the last single from the album to chart on Billboard's Hot 100.

Critical reception

Shaheem Reid from MTV News felt that Evans was "on fire with passion on 'Burnin' Up.' Singing over the Neptunes' vintage dance-inducing string plucks and drum thumps, Faith pleads with a man she feels is destined to be her soulmate to recognize that they belong together [...] Bad Boy MC Loon uses his conversational flow to drop lines that teeter on the line between conceit and confidence.^[1] Allmusic ranked the song among their favorite tracks on Faithfully alongside "Alone in this World", “Back to Love” and “Can't Believe.”^[2]
