The track reflect's today's political climate, and how the current generation has a role in making change. Many high profile people have been taken down, both in politics and the film industry, by people banding together to stop bad behavior. It was written for Morgan Spurlock’s documentary Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken, an attack on McDonalds and fast food. It is a sequel to the successful 2004 documentary. 'March for Our Lives', a student-led demonstration in support of tighter gun control, used it as their theme song. It took place in Washington, D.C. March 24, 2018, with other marches around the country, involving up to 2 million people. - Larry -

Ryan Mett - 2018:press release

"We’re at a very interesting point in history right now. There’s a tangible power that our generation now has, making real political change in the world. That energy excites us, so we wanted to write a song shedding light on it."

Ryan Mett - 2018:Rolling Stone

"We wrote the song observing this strange thing happening in our generation where regular people have so much power. Regular people can get TV shows shut down, and they’re making amazing political change as well, thanks to Twitter. … We wrote “Burn the House Down” from a very personal, honest place. Then March for Our Lives reached out to us and they saw a connection between their cause and what we were writing about. Now it’s their theme song, which is really cool."
