Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• "Trainor wrote the song with" → "Meghan co-wrote the song with" per MOS:SAMESURNAME
• "released it to" → "released the song to"
• "as a single," → "as the album's lead single," with the wikilink
• Remove the release year of the interpolation
• ""Mother" has lyrics about" → "The song has lyrics about"
• "in which Trainor addresses men" → "in which Meghan Trainor addresses men"
• "end her career and asks them" → "end her career, asking them"
• "of "Mother" but criticized" → "of "Mother", but criticized"
• Mention the number of countries it reached the top 50 in and then add including before the ones mentioned now

• The four currently mentioned in the lead are the only national/non-component charts where it reached the top 50.

• Mention in the praise sentence that this was with a few critics noting the glam style

Background and release

• "her brother Justin made" → "her brother Justin Trainor made" per above
• "singing it repeatedly." specify if this is the song or the bass

Composition and lyrics

• "Jeremie Inhaber mixed it," → "Jeremie Inhaber mixed the song," with the pipe

• [25][26][27] re-order this so they line up with the information in prose
• Wikilink post-chorus
• "as Trainor uses the latter's melody" → "as Trainor uses the melody" per this being implied
• If the C-SPAN quote is a full sentence, place punctuation inside quote marks instead

Critical reception

• Retitle to Reception and merge with the below section per the short size

Commercial performance

• Make this the last two paras of the above section
• "issued for April 1, 2023." → "issue dated April 1, 2023."
• "where it debuted at number 42" → "debuting at number 42"
• "on Sweden Heatseeker," → "on Sweden's Heatseeker chart,"

• End the quote on the question mark per MOS:QUOTE
• "Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian promoted it" → "Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian promoted the visual" per MOS:SAMESURNAME
• "with a title card in" → "with a title card in all caps and" with the wikilink
• [47][48] should be ordered to line up with the prose and the ultimate quote is not fully sourced

• Do you mean the second quote? It appears in both the sources linked directly after.

Charts

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went rather quickly! --K. Peake 07:54, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

• Hey Kyle, thanks for the swift review! I've gone ahead and addressed the comments with some replies above. Since Justin is not notable in his own right and is probably better identified as Trainor's brother, I changed the mentions of his name to fix the same surname issue. Hopefully that is acceptable. Regards.--NØ 21:34, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

• MaranoFan Thanks for the response and I will be addressing your concerns with "Burn" now, however you still need to use co-wrote in the second sentence and change Trainor to Meghan in the sentence about helping her with writing per MOS:SAMESURNAME on two people at once! --K. Peake 07:15, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• The co-writing comment is now addressed, K. Peake! The sentence about the writing is now only using the Trainor surname for one person so changing it to Meghan is no longer necessary. Regards.--NØ 07:24, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• ✓ Pass now, I am impressed with your speed and edited the part we are referring to, as Justin and Meghan are mentioned in the same sentence after he's already been introduced. --K. Peake 07:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
