"Hot Love" is a song by English glam rock band T. Rex, released as a standalone single on 12 February 1971 by record label Fly.

[4] The two performances of the song on Top of the Pops in March 1971, which saw Marc Bolan dressed for the first time on television in shiny satin stagewear and glittery make-up (the latter at the suggestion of his stylist Chelita Secunda) were a crucial trigger for the glam rock movement.

[6] The A-side, along with the B-side "Woodland Rock", marks the first time a full drum kit appeared on a T. Rex song, after Bill Fifield participated in the session at Tony Visconti's suggestion.

During the backing vocal overdub session on January 26, the tapes reveal Bolan mentioning that the group's last single, "Ride a White Swan", had hit number 2 in the UK chart.

Chris Welch of Melody Maker noted it was "a sound to appeal to all pop purists", while Derek Johnson of NME felt listeners would be compelled to sing along.
