The track is thought to address issues of sexuality, with Jeff Buckley claiming that his rendition of the Leonard Cohen song depicted "the hallelujah of the orgasm".
However, Burke revealed that she thinks the track is more of a love song, saying: "I didn't know it was about sexual positions. I see it as a love song. The words capture me but I don't automatically think of sex. I think of love."
The single, widely expected to be this year's Christmas number one, is one of three versions of the song thought to be charting on Sunday.
