"Burn for You" was the third single the Australian band INXS pulled from The Swing, their fourth album, in 1984, the one that followed "I Send a Message". Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence wrote it, and Nick Launay handled it from the first take to the final mix, producing, engineering and mixing it himself.
Jenny Morris, born in New Zealand, and Sherine Abeyratne supply the backing vocals. In August 1984 it reached number 3 at home in Australia, and it held that spot for two weeks.
