Template:MusicBox I Burn[1] is Yang Xiao Long's music theme. Three different versions of the song exist: the one featured in the "Yellow" Trailer, a hard rock version featuring a rap verse, and a club/dance remix of the hard rock version minus the rap verse.
Composition
The single version features and mix together the some parts of Red Like Roses, Mirror Mirror and From Shadows with the shorter version of I Burn album version.
First, the Red Like Roses verse is mixed with Techno, Electro and a hint of Disco. After the verse, Mirror Mirror took over, with a much more Funky-Pop/Disco element. The From Shadows verses will then took over with a heavy Techno element, followed-up with a slightly faster beat in the music's tempo. Then, for a moment, an aria from the Mirror Mirror song will took over, interluding the I Burn song.
The I Burn song is a duet that starts off with slow beats at first, then hastens in tempo when the lyrics start. The song denotes rebellious intention, as well as the confidence the singer can prove to those who think she isn't tough. After the "You can fight your life away; I get what I want, so don’t bother and just watch me burn," Lamar Hall steps in for two verses.
His raps are far more rebellious, with a few instances of vulgar language like "Human Torch can’t fuck with me" and "Shit will never be the same." After his two verses, Casey Lee Williams takes back over, singing the song's chorus twice.
