"Slow Burn" is a song written by Tommy Rocco and Charlie Black, and recorded by American country music artist T. G. Sheppard. It was released in September 1983 as the first single and title track from the album Slow Burn.

A song about a deeply emotional but long-lasting love affair, "Slow Burn" was Sheppard's 13th number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, and spent one week atop the chart as part of a 14-week run within the chart's Top 40.[1]

The single edit has an earlier fade than the full album version.
