Mariah the Scientist is back with “Burning Blue,” a scorching new #1 song that has everybody hooked! The sultry songstress accompanied the already viral track with a new music video on Thursday, May 8, and fans can’t get enough. The single has made Mariah the Scientist the highest-charting female artist of 2025 on Apple Music. The Atlanta native wrote “Burning Blue,” while Jetski Purp and Paul “Nineteen85” Jeffries served as producers.
Mariah the Scientist oozes sex appeal in her latest music video, posing as a tough general who softens in the mere presence of her lover. She is the leader who is cold as ice but instantly melts when that special person comes around. The music video shows Mariah dressed as an alluring general in a military jacket, lording over her subordinates. She dances seductively as she sings about the intense love and chemistry she feels with her partner, who has ignited a flame within her.
“I can feel it in the air. My cold sweat dripping everywhere. I’m all wet—I don’t even care, as long as you’re right (right) here (here), laying in my bed,” she sings in the chorus. “I’ll forget (forget) what everyone said. I’m all in.”
The video is bathed in an icy blue hue to reflect the title of the song and represent a blue flame, which burns safely and steadily. Mariah appears as a soldier standing strong for her love, willing to sacrifice herself to protect what she cherishes most.
Fan reactions to the song and music video have been overwhelmingly positive and have spread through social media like wildfire. “Burning Blue” is clearly for real lovers, and Mariah has listeners ready for more.
What Fans Are Saying About ‘Burning Blue’
If “Burning Blue” is any indication of how Mariah is coming for her next project, then we need it ASAP! The artist’s next project will be a follow-up to her third album, To Be Eaten Alive, which was released in 2023. This first single appears to be a personal reflection on the singer’s relationship with rapper Young Thug, whom she has been romantically linked to since 2021. Young Thug was released from Fulton County Jail in 2024. Mariah was immensely overjoyed and elated, sharing the news while opening for rapper Latto in Brooklyn. There is no doubt that the rapper continues to inspire her music—and there could be more to come.
“Burning Blue” marks a new era for the sultry songstress—one that will hopefully be filled with more raw vulnerability. While she is working on a new album, no details have been shared about when the project is expected to be released. “Burning Blue” is currently streaming on all platforms.
