Hot (Avril Lavigne song)

"Hot" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released as the third single from her third studio album, The Best Damn Thing (2007). The song was written by Lavigne and Evan Taubenfeld, and produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald. It is a pop punk and power pop track about Lavigne's feelings of attraction and lust towards a particular person.

The song received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its catchy melody and energetic production, while others criticized its repetitive lyrics and lack of originality. "Hot" achieved moderate commercial success, reaching the top 10 in several countries, including Canada and Australia. It also charted in the United States, peaking at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A music video, directed by Matthew Rolston, accompanied the song's release. The video features Lavigne in various seductive outfits, performing with her band in a stylized setting. The video generated some controversy due to its suggestive imagery.

"Hot" has been performed by Lavigne on numerous occasions, including during her The Best Damn Tour and other concert performances. It remains a recognizable track in her discography, representing a shift towards a more overtly sexualized image compared to her earlier work.
