"Burning Bright" was the fourth single from Leave a Whisper, Shinedown's 2003 debut album, and it climbed to number two on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Brent Smith wrote it with Tony Battaglia and sings it, with Jasin Todd on acoustic and electric guitar, Brad Stewart on bass and Barry Kerch on drums; Bob Marlette produced and Andy Wallace mixed.
It's a brooding post-grunge burner built for rock radio, all muscle and yearning. A new version, the "Sanford" mix, turned up when the album was reissued, and Joe Budden sampled it for "Just to be Different" on his Halfway House album.
