"Burn" (originally "Gasoline") is a song by American rapper Meek Mill from the deluxe version of his debut studio album, Dreams and Nightmares (2012). The song features a guest appearance from fellow rapper Big Sean. Jahlil Beats handled the production, and co-wrote it with the rappers and Alexander Izquierdo. The producer recorded the song after listening to an early recording, adding more musical elements. It was released for digital download and streaming, as the second single for the album, on September 11, 2012, through Maybach Music Group and Warner Bros. Records. An up-tempo number, the song features brass throughout.

In the lyrics of the song, Mill and Big Sean encourage listeners to burn. "Burn" received positive reviews from music critics, who generally highlighted the rappers' chemistry. Some singled out Big Sean's appearance, while a few critics praised the instrumentation. In the United States, the song topped Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in 2012, alongside peaking at number 86 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was later certified gold in the country by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). An accompanying music video was released on October 10, 2012, which shows Mill and Big Sean joined by models in a warehouse, along with crocodiles, vehicles, and exploding cars.
