"Hot Water" is a single released in 1984 by the English jazz-funk band Level 42.

It was released a couple of weeks before the band's studio album True Colours (1984).

In 1985, "Hot Water" and another True Colours song, "The Chant Has Begun", were tacked onto the US version of Level 42's breakthrough studio album, World Machine, in place of "I Sleep on My Heart," "Dream Crazy" (which only appeared on the European CD version of the album), and "Coup d'état".

This song was produced by Larry Dunn and Verdine White, both members of Earth, Wind & Fire.

All songs written and composed by Mark King, Mike Lindup, Phil Gould and Wally Badarou, except where noted.
