"Hot" is a song by American singer Pia Mia released on July 24, 2020, by Republic Records and Electric Feel Entertainment. The song follows Mia's previous single, "Princess", and serves as the second single from Mia's upcoming debut studio album. A remix of the song featuring Sean Paul and Flo Milli was released on October 27, 2020.[1]
Background and composition[edit]
'Hot' is self-explanatory to me. It’s about having a spark with someone and being upfront about it. I like you, I want you, you better keep it real hot. I believe that women should be able to speak on whatever they think and feel — and express their sexuality without a second thought or worry about being judged.
—Pia Mia talking about the meaning of "Hot"[2]
Pia Mia first revealed the title of the song in an interview with Idolator, revealing it would be the next single to be released from her upcoming album after "Princess".[3] Pia Mia shared a snippet of the song on July 18, 2020, on her social media.[4] She later revealed the cover art of the song three days before its release.[5]
Music video[edit]
In an interview with Wonderland Magazine, Pia revealed that a "visualiser" for the song was shot by a local team in Guam, whilst an official music video will later be shot in Los Angeles.[6] On September 6, 2020, Pia Mia announced via her social medias that the visualiser for "HOT" will be released on September 9.[7] The visualizer was released exclusively through Pia Mia's OnlyFans page on September 9, before being uploaded publicly on YouTube on September 14.
Critical reception[edit]
Evan Real of Billboard praised the song stating that the song features, "shimmering vocals, seductive lyrics and an island-tinged beat that will send fans straight to the (socially-distanced) dance floor".[2] Wonderland Magazine called the song "a sizzling, sun-soaked summer bop, with the mileage to follow suit of 'Do It Again'".[6]
