Alex Warren‘s breakthrough hit “Burning Down” just got even hotter. The singer/songwriter teamed up with Joe Jonas on Friday (Dec. 6) for a new version of the track via Atlantic Records, and Billboard is exclusively sharing a performance video the duo filmed to accompany the song.
In the clip, Jonas and Warren trade lines of the driving track while standing opposite each other in the studio, with their voices seamlessly blending together before belting the chorus, “Said I’m the one who’s wanted for all the fires you started/ You knew the house was burning down, I had to get out.”
“It’s surreal that someone I grew up admiring connected with my music so deeply that they wanted to collaborate on a new take on the song,” Warren said of Jonas in a press statement. “Working with Joe has been amazing — not only because he’s incredibly talented and added a whole new layer to the record but also because he’s such an incredible human. We click both in and out of the studio, making this collaboration even more special to me. I can’t wait for you all to hear our voices together, and I hope you love this version of ‘Burning Down’ as much as we do.”
Jonas added of Warren, “His voice and songwriting are incredible. It’s been exciting to watch such a talented artist grow and come into his own. ‘Burning Down’ was already such a powerhouse song, so when he asked me to be a part of this version, I was honored. We had so much fun in the studio together and I hope that comes across when people hear it.”
The original “Burning Down,” released in September as a single from Warren’s debut album You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), marked his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at No. 69. In 2025, the 24-year-old social media star-turned-musician will embark on his Cheaper Than Therapy global tour, which kicks off Feb. 27 in Antwerp, Belgium, and wraps June 7 in Santa Ana, Calif.
