Instead of letting him off easy, she takes revenge by burning down his house after soaking it in kerosene fuel to ease the pain.

Although Lambert was technically the sole writer of "Kerosene," she gave co-writer's credit to alt-country singer Steve Earle after others noted a similarity to his song "I Feel Alright."

She stated in an interview that she had inadvertently duplicated the melody and structure, saying: "I didn't purposefully plagiarize his song -- but unconsciously, I copied it almost exactly.

In the video, Lambert carries a tin of kerosene, letting it spill out leaving a trail as she walks through the countryside.

After she finds her boyfriend cheating on her in a bed in the middle of a road, she lights a match and lets fire to the kerosene.
