Samantha Margret isn’t just playing with fire—she’s claiming it. With her latest single, “I’m burning,” the alt-pop artist dives headfirst into the flames of identity, power, and self-ownership. Known for her poetic lyrics and dark, bass-driven production, Margret turns up the heat in this genre-blurring electro-pop anthem. It’s bold, defiant, and undeniably danceable—her most commanding release yet.
Pairing dreamy, layered vocals with a synth-heavy beat that pulses like a heart under pressure, “I’m burning” draws comparisons to the likes of Billie Eilish and KiNG MALA, but Margret’s voice—both literally and lyrically—is distinctly her own. The track follows her more introspective ballad “Are You Mad at Me?” and marks a shift into sharper, more electrified territory without losing her emotional edge.
At its core, “I’m burning” is a confrontation—a reclaiming of voice in the face of control and suppression. “Finger to your lips saying I’m too loud / wanna keep me small, wanna break me down,” Margret sings, her voice both wounded and unwavering. It’s a lyrical middle finger to anyone who’s tried to dim her light, and the tension between vulnerability and strength crackles across every line. The production mirrors that emotional volatility: synths simmer beneath the surface, then explode into a cathartic chorus that feels both liberating and dangerous. The track doesn’t ask for space—it takes it, demanding to be heard, seen, and felt.
Margret lays down her boundaries with quiet conviction, delivering lines like “You’ve got blisters on your fingers tryna keep me in my place” and “You want the heat I make, but it’s not yours to take” in a way that’s beautifully gentle, yet unmistakably firm. It’s this balance—graceful but unyielding—that defines “I’m burning.” As the glossy production gives way to a more melancholic wind-down, Margret’s emotive delivery lingers, leaving a lasting impression. The track doesn’t just make a statement—it feels like a final word, a full-circle moment of power reclaimed. With “I’m burning,” Samantha Margret cements herself as an artist unafraid to confront, to glow, and above all, to burn on her own terms.
