1. Chappell Roan, “HOT TO GO!”
The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess » KRA International Inc. / Island » 2023
“I don’t want the world, but I’ll take this city / Who can blame a girl? Call me hot, not pretty.” From the beginning, Roan is filled with attitude and energy. The instrumental accompaniment, likewise, is exuberant. 1980s dance and synthpop are written all over the cheerleader-inspired bop. The synths shimmer while the groove is giving dancefloor. The lyrics are engaging and fun to the nth degree. Chappell is playful throughout. “Baby, do you like this beat? / I made it, so you’d dance with me,” she asserts in the refrain, adding, “It’s like a hundred ninety-nine degrees / When you’re doing it with me, doing it with me.” Oh, the sexual innuendo! The refrain precedes the pre-chorus, where Roan spells! “H-O-T-T-O-G-O /… Dance it out, you’re hot to go.” And, for emphasis, the chorus emphasizes being “hot to go,” of course! The second verse is similar to the first, driven by desire: “No one’s touched me there in a damn hot minute.” Ooh-wee, Chappell! The second refrain is slightly altered, trading doing for sleep 😈. Eventually, Roan closes the song with the outro where she asks, “Woo, you coming home with me? / Okay, it’s hot / I’ll call a cab.” “HOT TO GO!” is the sugar honey iced tea, just like Chappell Roan is. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll have this LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 bop on repeat! #SICKENING!

2. Lil Nas X, “HOTBOX”
“HOTBOX” » Columbia » 2025
Beyond his singing in the chorus, Lil Nas X raps assertively in the verses. His bars are infused with personality and the universal, three-letter-word, sex. “I got my bitches in the back, and my bros in the front leadin’ / He keep lookin’ at me, I’ma make that boy a whole eater,” Nas X raps in the first verse, continuing, “I’ma fuck his friend too, baby, I’m a whole cheater / We can go to France, Eiffel Tower.” Holy shit! Nas X is equally aggressive rapping in the second verse:
“He said, ‘Let’s hit the back, hit the back, hit the backroom
You be the carpet, I be the vacuum
We can get it in, we can get it on’.”
Hoover, huh? Anyways, the bridge is a blast, too: “All that ass on your body, put some bounce on it.” Ooh-wee! Ultimately, Lil Nas X brings the fuckin’ heat (literally) on “HOTBOX”.

3.Austin Millz & Kah-Lo, “Hot & Mysterious”
“Hot & Mysterious” » Ultra » 2025
“Hot and mysterious
Now I look delirious
Hot and mysterious
We tryna get delirious
Hot and mysterious
Please don’t take me serious
Hot and mysterious
Please don’t take me serious.”
“Hot & Mysterious” slaps, plain and simple! “Start a tab, we can start a whole mood.” Indeed!

4. Sly & The Family Stone, “Hot Fun in the Summertime”
Greatest Hits » Sony Music Entertainment » 1970
Everything you love about Sly & The Family Stone is locked in – on autopilot – on this summery gem. It begins with that sick, piano ostinato courtesy of Sly Stone. Furthermore, the production, arrangement, and orchestration are top-notch. Sly penned and produced sheer musical excellence. The late, great Cynthia Robinson sounds dynamic and jubilant on the trumpet. The vocals are epic too. Sly sounds incredibly soulful on lead. Of course, there are vocal contributions from Freddie Stone, Larry Graham, and Rose Stone. All shine, bringing the infectious lyrics and youthful, summery aesthetic to life.
“I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is cool
Ooh, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime.”
Pushing 60 years after its release “Hot Fun in the Summertime” is timeless. Not only is it the perfect summer song, but it’s also a marvelous song no matter the time or season.

5. Megan Thee Stallion, “Otaku Hot Girl”
MEGAN: ACT II » Hot Girl Productions LLC » 2024
As always, Megan Thee Stallion is fierce on “Otaku Hot Girl.” She wows with her compelling, fast-paced cadence and flow. Beyond the infectious chorus, Thee Stallion eats in the verses. “Niggas bow down when I pop out like Sakuna / Eatin’ these rap bitches, that get me booted up,” she asserts in the first verse, and continues, “Switchin’ my flow up, it feel like it’s two of us / If I let Tina [Snow] out, that’s a coup de grâce.” Oh, snap! Tina Snow reappears near the end of the first verse, where Thee Stallion confirms, “Everybody know Tina Snow is the mack.” The second verse is a sight to behold as well: “I’m the sensei or the senpai, the one hoes wanna be just like /Ass still on Texas, but my waist in a European size.” And, for good measure, Megan states, “Hoes want my technique, couldn’t be like me with a Sasuke sharingan.” Even as Megan Thee Stallion nerds out with Anime references, “Otaku Hot Girl” is another badass rap banger from her catalog.

6. Jake Wesley Rogers, “Hot Gospel”
In The Key Of Love » Facet / Warner » 2025
The instrumental backdrop is a fine canvas for Rogers to paint upon with his voice. His instrument is distinct and incredibly expressive. Jake always brings his ‘A game,’ singing authentically and sincerely. The first verse (excerpted above) sets the tone. Memorably, in the pre-chorus, Rogers mentions his Missouri roots, God, and not needing “to believe to do it well.” Again, do what, Jake? “Do the hot gospel,” of course, he sings in the chorus, continuing, “Do the bad believer / Do the broken healer / Do the saint, do the spell / Do the heaven, do the hell.” The second verse is shorter than the first but remains thought-provoking. “Hot Gospel” closes with an outro where Jake asserts, “I’m going to make the most of this hill / I’m gonna do the hot gospel.” At least part of that hill seems to be God and the conservative nature of Missouri. Rogers is incredibly talented. The entertaining and reflective “Hot Gospel” is a prime example of his elite artistry. It is well-written lyrically and musically (harmony, melody, and instrumentally).

7. Nick Rich, “Hot Mess”
“Hot Mess” » Big Red » 2023
Regarding “Hot Mess,” which, musically speaking, is anything but, Rich comments, “Some days I felt like a ‘hot mess’ and the woes of the relationship were my doing.” Word. Self-awareness is important. Beyond the sus love experiences by Nick, and his stellar voice and songwriting, the music is sweet as well on this bop. Smartly, the minor key (C minor to be precise) captures the messiness. The music, true to Rich’s self-characterization, emulates British soul, with its dusty, soulful groove, keys, smooth, rhythmic guitar, robust bass line, and playful, background vocals that accentuate the lead. Nick Rich may be a hot mess some days, but “Hot Mess” the song is electrifying!

8. FLETCHER, “Becky’s So Hot”
Girl of My Dreams » Snapback Entertainment LLC / UMG Recordings, Inc. » 2022
FLETCHER goes on to admit, “If I were you, I’d probably keep her,” later adding the titular lyric, “‘Cause Becky’s so hot in your vintage t-shirt.” Well now! In the second verse, she reminisces about wearing that same shirt; however, even though she’s jelly, she knows that Becky looks fine! The thing is, “Becky’s So Hot” isn’t merely a well-produced (Malay and Sly), well-performed, and entertaining LGBTQ-themed pop song – it’s got some autobiographical background, per Apple Music. Recapping: FLETCHER is bitter over her ex, who is dating someone else. She checks out her ex’s pictures, and admits, she’s hot. You can’t make this up, can you? All told, “Becky’s So Hot” is a brilliantly, entertaining, must-hear LGBTQ pop record.

10. Snoop Dogg, “Drop It Like It’s Hot” (Ft. Pharrell Williams)
R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece » Geffen » 2004
The chorus, first and foremost, is the section to beat regarding lyrics:
“When the pimp’s in the crib, ma
(Drop it like it’s hot, drop it like it’s hot, drop it like it’s hot)
When the pigs try to get at you
(Park it like it’s hot, park it like it’s hot, park it like it’s hot)
And if a nigga get a attitude
(Pop it like it’s hot, pop it like it’s hot, pop it like it’s hot)
I got the Rollie on my arm and I’m pourin’ Chandon
And I roll the best weed, ’cause I got it goin’ on.”
Gah-day-um! One of the best, most infectious hooks, hands down. Beyond the hook, which ignited the popularity of the phrase ‘drop it like it’s hot,’ Snoop says his fair share of memorable lines. “I keep a blue flag hangin’ out my backside / But only on the left side, yeah, that’s the Crip side,” he raps in the second verse, referencing his gang affiliation. In the third verse, the former pimp asserts, “I’m a bad boy with a lotta hoes / Drive my own cars and wear my own clothes.” Translation: he’s rich, bi-otch! Pharrell also deserves his flowers for the first verse, confidently and raunchily rapping, “Eligible bachelor, million dollar beat / That’s whiter than what’s slippin’ down your throat.” Oh, snap! No deep analysis is necessary for “Drop It Like It’s Hot”, one of the best rap songs to come out of the 2000s. SNOOP!

11. Donna Summer, “Hot Stuff”
Bad Girls » UMG Recordings, Inc. » 1979
The theme and lyrics are easy to follow on “Hot Stuff.” The chorus perfectly lays out what Summer sought out – a lover! In the verses, she mentions her loneliness. “Sittin’ here eatin’ my heart out waitin’,” she sings in the first, adding, “Waitin’ for some lover to call.” The second is like unto it! “Lookin’ for a lover who needs another,” she sings, adding, “Wanna share my love with a warm-blooded lover / Wanna bring a wild man back home.” Wild, huh? Oh, Donna! It’s not complicated or deep, but it’s memorable and relatable. Summers sings superbly, bringing ample personality to her performance, particularly in the chorus. She digs in, commanding from start to finish. She also gets a lift from potent background vocalists. The instrumental is lit, fueling the late, great musician’s fire. Among the highlights are the rock music cues, including a dynamic guitar solo by Jeff Baxter. Also, those funky, disco elements stand out too – additional guitars, keys, synths, athletic bass, and anchoring drums. Nearly 50 years after its release, “Hot Stuff” remains piping hot.

12.Buster Poindexter, “Hot Hot Hot”
Buster Poindexter » Sony Music Entertainment » 1987
Besides those infectious “ole, ole” lines, it’s no secret what the most prevalent lines of the song are. “Me mind on fire / Me soul on fire, feeling hot, hot, hot.” That’s just – wait for it – HOT 🥵! There’s just something when it occurs thrice, it hits different! Buster Poindexter fully embraces the novel nature of this tropical cut, infusing ample personality. Thematically, the song embraces partying, and it’s a surefire vibe. “See people rocking / Hear people chanting, feeling hot, hot, hot.” Yeah! In addition to the simple but utterly fun lyrics, the production – the sound of the record – is hot as well. It’s the percussion and those horns. All told, “Hot Hot Hot” is a lit four minutes and change we will never forget!

13. Nick Gilder, “Hot Child in the City”
City Nights » Chrysalis » 1978
“She’s young to be loose and on her own / Young boys, they all want to take her home,” Gilder sings in the second verse of “Hot Child in the City.” Loose is a questionable choice of words. It demeans this hot child, who is possibly a prostitute. The song does not specify this, but there are hints. He adds, “When she comes downtown, the boys all stop and stare /… she walks like she just don’t care.” So, because she is a whore, her carefree attitude makes her even wilder… She is an object, and these ‘young boys’ just can’t help themselves, right? The chorus sums up men’s reaction to her:
“Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin’ wild and lookin’ pretty
Hot child in the city.”
Is Gilder himself controversial? No, but the character he plays is suspect in the bridge. Enthusiastically, or should I say red-blooded as f—, he sings, “Come on down to my place, baby, we’ll make love.” Hmm, how old is she… Isn’t she too old for you? In real life, the inspiration for “Hot Child in the City” was child prostitution that Gilder witnessed when he moved to Los Angeles. Yikes. He asserted in an interview, “I tried writing from the perspective of a lecher — in the guise of an innocent pop song”. Wow 😮. A surefire rock classic, this major-key, enjoyable joint exemplifies the phrase guilty pleasure! It may have evaded being banned, but this song is not that innocent!
