"'Burning House' is a good representation of who I am as a whole as an artist, and this is the perfect song to put out so everybody can learn who I am," says Graves. "My favorite lyric from the song is 'If I go, then I'm going out/Making bets in a burning house/If we all end up in dust and ash/Lay me in the ground with empty hands.' To me, it means that I am going to be myself, regardless of what's going on around me and I'm choosing to continue to bet, even with everything else crumbling. It's a song with a message and with all of us writers together putting input in, the song really turned into something beautiful."
