Theme The theme of this song is hype-exercise, Janet made this song when she was “trying to get her body right”.

OPINION STATEMENT In my opinion BURN IT UP! Is the best song in this entire album. It gets you on your feet and ready to dance. “BURNITUP” is almost like a pedal-to-the-medal, r&b groove type of song it is a great song.
