"Gone Up in Flames" is the debut single by English rock band Morning Runner, first released on 1 August 2005. It reached number 39 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was 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."^{[citation needed]}

It is also the theme tune to E4 teenage sitcom The Inbetweeners.
