"Burn Baby Burn" was the second single released from the Free All Angels album by the band Ash on April 2, 2001. It was released as a single CD (released on 2CD formats, the second of which being an enhanced CD) as a 7" vinyl, and was also released for the first time on DVD format. "Burn Baby Burn" is thought to be one of Ash's biggest and most known hits, and greatly contributed to the high selling of "Free All Angels".

"Burn Baby Burn" was originally written for "Nu-Clear Sounds" but didn't make the cut. However, Mark very much liked the riff, and encouraged Wheeler to re-write parts of the song, namely the chorus. Even when he did so, they still weren't sure if it even was going to make the album, it might have ended up as a b-side.

Originally the track was entitled "This Is Slow Suicide", then simply "Slow Suicide", but was changed at the last minute to "Burn Baby Burn" to avoid radio censorship.

Burn Baby Burn was the first ever song played on the BBC's 6 Music station.

For release in America, the song was remixed and features a new 'mid-song breakdown' during the final bridge. This version of the song is always played live. Burn Baby Burn is constantly in the band's set since the song's release. The band originally opened every gig with it, but more recently have closed ever set with it. In their recent "Higher Education Tour", they revert to playing this near the start of their set list again. At Bud Rising in Marlay Park, Dublin on Sunday August 26, 2007, the song was played second.
