Burn

Five years after the release of The Underkill, Billy Burke returns with a brand new song inspired by Fire Country, CBS’ top new broadcast series of the 2022/2023 season where Billy plays Battalion Chief Vince Leone.

Burn, written and performed by Billy and produced by Tom Polce, is featured in episode 1×11, Mama Bear, broadcast on Friday, Jan. 20, 2023. On the same day CBS releases the song on all major streaming platforms. They also release a music video that includes clips from the show and footage of Billy recording in the studio. In a September interview, Billy mentioned the possibility of singing again on screen, making all his fans cross their fingers: “We’ve actually talked about it,” he said. “It’s not out of the realm of possibility.” A few months later, that possibility has become reality, giving Billy the opportunity to showcase his musical talents on a prime time show and therefore “get a lil widespread love in a pretty cool way.”
