"I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" is a pop song written by Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus and Eddie Seiler.

It was written in 1938, but was first recorded three years later by Harlan Leonard and His Rockets. It was covered by several musicians and groups, most successfully by Horace Heidt on Columbia Records, whose version reached number one on the US pop chart; and by The Ink Spots on Decca, whose version reached number four on the same listing. Other early versions included those by Tommy Tucker, Mitchell Ayres, and (in Britain) Vera Lynn. The song, with its lyrics starting with "I don't want to set the world on fire/ I just want to start a flame in your heart..." became especially popular after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

The song was later recorded by Betty Carter, Frankie Laine, Brian Hyland, Anthony Newley, Suzy Bogguss and others.

In popular culture
In the 1949 Ealing comedy film Passport to Pimlico, after it is discovered that Pimlico is technically part of the Duchy of Burgundy, a rendition of the song is performed in celebration of the fact that British music licensing laws no longer apply to Pimlico.

In the "Treehouse of Horror XVII" episode of The Simpsons, the Ink Spots' rendition of the song is played as a post-apocalyptic scene brought about by alien invasion fades into the end credits.

The Ink Spots' 1941 version is featured in the Bethesda Softworks video games Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 on the in-game radio.

It is featured in the opening scene of the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Picard.

The song is briefly used in season 5 of ABC's Once Upon a Time.

Lyrics:

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
In my heart, I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do
I've lost all ambition
For worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission
That you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of
Believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
