"Gone up in Flames" was the debut single by British rock band Morning Runner, first released on 1 August 2005 (see 2005 in British music). The song was later featured on the band's debut album, Wilderness Is Paradise Now, released in March 2006.

The song contains three narratives: a racetrack loser, a devastated mourner, and a possessive consumer. Lead singer Matthew Greener explained, "They are all pictures of desperation. I got told this story about a woman so obsessed with this pearl that she sold all her possessions just to own it."

It is included in the EA Sports FIFA 07 video game.
