"Hot" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne and the third single from her third studio album, The Best Damn Thing (2007).

A pop rock ballad, the song talks about Lavigne's feelings about a boyfriend, who makes her "hot".

The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its "old-style" vibe and its anthemic nature.

The music video directed by Matthew Rolston shows Lavigne in a more "sexy" way, with a "1920s burlesque" theme.

[1] She spent the majority of 2006 working on her third album, enlisting blink-182 drummer Travis Barker to play drums, and cherry-picking a variety of producers (such as her then-spouse Deryck Whibley) to helm the recording sessions.

[1] One of the songs in the album, "Hot", was produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, and co-written by Lavigne and Evan Taubenfeld.

[2][3] Lavigne described the album as "really fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way.

[8][6] "Hot" is a pop rock ballad,[9] that contains new wave verses,[8] as well as a "punchy" chorus,[9] where Lavigne proclaims her lover's sweetness.

"[9] Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly commented that while listening to the "sputtering chorus" of Hot kick in and smooth out, it's as if she and her Let Go team, The Matrix, never broke up.

The video begins with Lavigne, semi-disguised in a wig, making a grand entrance into a club in a black dress, with photographers and fans alike surrounding her.

[32] Lavigne continued the promotion of the song, singing it live at the Dancing with the Stars,[33] on Canadian Idol[34] and at Friday Night Project.
