"Burn It to the Ground" is the fourth U.S. single (fifth single in Canada after "I'd Come for You") released from Canadian rock band Nickelback's sixth studio album Dark Horse.
It is featured on the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and can be heard in the background during a party scene in the film. An instrumental version of the song was played when the Kansas City Royals' starting line-up was introduced during home games in 2009. The song was also used by the 2009 Colorado Rockies, and 2010 Baltimore Orioles as the players took the field. The song is also featured in video game NHL 10, and was used as the theme song for WWE Raw from November 16, 2009, until August 6, 2012. UFC fighter Ben Rothwell and former WWE star Carlito have both used it at their entrance music. It was also featured in Jersey Shore's second season.
The song is also the touchdown song for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys, the goal song for the NHL's New York Islanders and the AHL's Peoria Rivermen and the GOJHL's LaSalle Vipers, the start of the song plays before the opening faceoff for the Chicago Blackhawks and also the entrance theme for the AHL's Abbotsford Heat and was the entrance theme of Jonny Gomes of the Cincinnati Reds. It is also played at Madison Square Garden when the New York Rangers enter the ice from the locker room at the start of the second period.
