"Baby I'm Burning" was a 1978 song written and performed by Dolly Parton that was part of a double-A-sided single "Baby I'm Burning"/"I Really Got the Feeling".

Released from Parton's RCA album "Heartbreaker", after the success of the title single, "Baby I'm Burning" reached the Top 30 on the U.S. pop singles chart in early 1979, and also became a surprise top ten disco hit.

In addition to the standard 45-rpm single, an extended dance single, entled "Dance With Dolly" was released, including an extended dance version of the song, intended for airplay in discos and dance clubs.

I Really Got the Feeling

While "Baby, I'm Burning" did get some country airplay in late 1978 and early 1979, it was the flip side — "I Really Got the Feeling" — that caught on with country music fans.

The song was a pop-styled ballad that bore no resemblance to the disco feel of "Baby, I'm Burning." The subject matter of "I Really Got the Feeling" was about a woman who falls in love with a man at first sight, citing him as a virtuous individual. She plans to stay with him for the rest of her life, regardless of "what my Daddy might say."

"I Really Got the Feeling" became Parton's 10th No. 1 "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles hit in January 1979.
