"Burning House" is a song by American country music singer Cam. It was released on June 16, 2015, as the second single from her debut album Untamed. Co-written with Tyler Johnson and Jeff Bhasker, the song was inspired by an ex-boyfriend of Cam's that attended the same party she was in and the dream she had of attempting to save him from a 'burning house'.

"Burning House" peaked at number 2 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. The song also charted on the Hot 100, peaking at number 29. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 1,125,000 copies in the United States as of November 2016. It received similar chart success in Canada, peaking at number 2 on the Country chart and number 46 on the Canadian Hot 100. It was also certified Gold by Music Canada, denoting sales of over 40,000 units in that country.

The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Trey Fanjoy.

According to Billboard, the idea for the song came when Cam learned that an ex-boyfriend of hers would be at a party that she was attending, and that night, she had a dream that she was trying to rescue him from a burning house. She recounted the dream to producer Tyler Johnson via Skype, and he offered a guitar riff inspired by Metallica’s "Nothing Else Matters" while she came up with "two off-the-cuff opening lines that alternate between standard 4/4 time and 3/4 bars". When they recorded the song with producer Jeff Bhasker, Johnson played acoustic guitar on the recording, with a few notes spliced in from Cam's guitarist, Doug Showalter, due to Johnson having difficulty playing the last four notes of the riff. The song also features a piano, a muted bass, and a small string section arranged by Hamilton Ulmer.
