A música Slow Dancing in a Burning Room foi escrita por John Mayer e é frequentemente interpretada como uma metáfora para um relacionamento que está falhando onde os envolvidos continuam a se agarrar, apesar de saberem que está condenado. John Mayer não detalhou especificamente os eventos ou o relacionamento que inspiraram a música, mas ela é amplamente admirada por sua lírica emotiva e complexidade musical.
