Lyrically, "Let It Burn" was inspired by a previous relationship during which Sullivan felt that she was not acting like an ideal girlfriend. A throw-back to 1980s music, the song is a dreamy, simmering late-night ballad, that is built upon a synth-heavy instrumentation. "Let It Burn" was written by Sullivan and producer Key Wane for her third studio album Reality Show (2015) and samples from " Ready or Not" (1989) by American R&B group After 7 as written by Kenneth "Babyace" Edmonds. After 7 and Sullivan performed a mashup of "Let It Burn" and "Ready or Not" at the 2015 Soul Train Music Awards, celebrating fellow honoree Babyface. At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, the song - along with its parent album - received two nominations in the categories for Best R&B Song and Best Traditional R&B Performance. The song was released as the album's third single and became Reality Show ' highest-charting offering, reaching number four on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart. Due to the inclusion of the sample, its writer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is also credited as songwriter. The song is built around a sample of " Ready or Not" (1989) by American R&B group After 7. It was written by Sullivan and Key Wane for her third studio album Reality Show (2015), while production was helmed by the latter.
