About this song
"Slow Burn" opens Kacey Musgraves's album Golden Hour, which moves away from sharp observations of small-town life and superficiality toward romance and warmth. Musgraves has called it her favorite song on the record and one of her most autobiographical, written after she settled in Nashville with her new husband, Ruston Kelly. She has said she came up with the chorus while sitting on her front porch on LSD.
