Trammps keyboard player Ron Kersey wrote this song with Leroy Green. They were inspired by a scene in the movie The Towering Inferno where a disco on top of a building is on fire.
The raging fire in this song is a metaphor for the musical heat on the dance floor, but the refrain "burn, baby, burn" was also a phrase chanted at the Watts Riots in 1965 as fires raged throughout the Los Angeles neighborhood.
