"Hotter than Hell" is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). It was written by Lipa and Ritual band members Adam Midgley, Tommy Baxter and Gerard O'Connell, with Stephen "Koz" Kozmeniuk handling the production. The song is responsible for getting Lipa signed to Warner Bros. Records and helped Lipa develop the sound of her debut album. It is a dance-pop, electropop, tropical house song driven by marimbas and synthesizers that contains elements of disco and R&B-house. Lyrically, the song sees the singer taunting an ex-boyfriend who cannot resist her love.

"Hotter than Hell" was released for digital download and streaming through the singer's independent record label, Dua Lipa Limited, on 6 May 2016 as the fourth single from Dua Lipa. Many music critics complimented the steamy and tropical sound of the song as well as its confident lyrics. Commercially, the song became a moderate success. It was Lipa's first entry on the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 15. The song also charted within the top 40 of charts in Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), the Netherlands, Poland and Slovenia. It is certified platinum in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

The music video for "Hotter than Hell" accompanied the song's release and was directed by Emil Nava. Filmed in a warehouse in London, the visual shows a dark party with several backgrounds and lighting, showcasing the lost kids on London. Lipa promoted the song with live performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, RTL Late Night and Sommarkrysset; the former of the three was her US television debut. Remixes by Miike Snow, Matoma and Shadow Child were released for further promotion.

Background and development

[edit]

In 2013, Dua Lipa met Ben Mawson and Ed Millett of Tap Management while holding meetings with other management companies. After recognising her talent, Mawson and Millett set up writing sessions for her, during which "Hotter than Hell" was written.[1] The song was written by Lipa alongside Adam Midgley, Tommy Baxter and Gerard O'Connell of English electronic band Ritual.[2] The writing began with just keys and a kick drum, with no production behind it.[3][4] Lipa was inspired by her relationship with her first boyfriend, where he made her feel like she was not good enough.[5][6] Lipa originally intended to scrap the song after struggling to figure out the chorus. However, she began scrolling through Tumblr where she saw the words "Hotter than Hell" written in red on a black background. She then thought, "What if he thought I was hotter than hell, and I just didn't want him?"[7] The collaborators then changed the meaning as if Lipa had the upper hand and her boyfriend could not get enough of her.[5][8] Lipa stated that writing the song was "very therapeutic" for her.[9]

"Hotter than Hell" was recorded at KasaKoz Studios in Toronto with the vocals being recorded at TaP Studio / Strongroom 7 in London. Serban Ghenea mixed the song at Virginia Beach, Virginia's MixStar Studios while the song was mastered at Metropolis Studios in London by John Davis.[2] It was one of the first songs written for Lipa's debut album. It dictated what the rest of the album would sound like and how she figured out her dark pop genre.[10][11] The song was produced by Stephen "Koz" Kozmeniuk with additional production from Jay Reynolds.[2] After hearing the song in 2014, Warner Bros. Records signed Lipa to a recording contract.[12]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Musically, "Hotter than Hell" is a dance-pop, electropop and tropical house song,[13][3][14] with disco and R&B-house elements.[15][16] The song runs for 3 minutes and 7 seconds,[17] and is constructed in verse–chorus form. It is composed in 4
4
time
and the key of E♭ minor, with a pop dance tempo of 110 beats per minute and a chord progression of A♭m–B–E♭m–D♭.[18][19] The song has hip hop-influenced verses and pop choruses with a beat drop.[10][20] The first verse, references the Arctic Monkeys' "505", where Lipa sings "you probably still adore me with my hands around your neck."[21]

Driven by marimbas and synthesizers,[13][22] the production includes, handclaps,[23] light bongo taps,[24] steel-drum synth jabs, church organs, and a beat that spans house, pop and tropical genres, created using a caribbean drum.[21][25][26][27] Lipa uses raspy alto vocals, spanning from E3 to D5.[21][18][28] "Hotter than Hell" has themes of empowerment and heartache.[29][30] In the lyrics, Lipa channels a boyfriend who made her feel as if she was not good enough.[29] She taunts him while he cannot resist her love, and takes revenge for his actions, all while looking hotter than hell.[31][30] The lyrics feature religious undertones.[32] In the chorus, the singer uses hell as a metaphor to describe being away from her lover and the metaphor of heaven to describe the pleasure she gives him.[33]

Release

[edit]

Lipa first mentioned the song in December 2015 during an interview with Coup De Main Magazine, in which she called it her favourite song she'd written.[34] Lipa announced that the song would serve as the fourth single from Dua Lipa during a BBC interview in February 2016.[35] "Hotter than Hell" was released for digital download and streaming on 6 May 2016, through Lipa's independent record label, Dua Lipa Limited.[17] It was sent for radio airplay in Italy on 10 June 2016.[36] The song was promoted to contemporary hit radio formats in the United States on 3 August 2016 as a promotional single.[37]

A remix by Matoma was released on 23 June 2016.[38] It appears on the 24 June 2016-released, Austrian, German and Swiss-exclusive remix extended play (EP), which also includes remixes by Vimalavong, Carsten Fietz, Miike Snow, Jack Wins and Shadow Child.[39] A live version of the song appears on Lipa's Spotify Sessions EP, which was released on 8 July 2016.[40] A worldwide remix EP with the Miike Snow, Jack Wins, Shadow Child and Vimalavong remixes, as well as one by Carsten Fietz was released on 18 July 2016.[41] The Miike Snow remix slows down the tempo and warps its melody, as well as including a disco groove.[42][43] "Hotter than Hell" later appeared as the third track on both Lipa's 21 April 2017-released The Only EP as well as her eponymous debut studio album, released on 2 June 2017.[2][44] The Miike Snow remix also appears on the Japanese edition of the album as well as the Japanese edition of the album's 2018 reissue, Dua Lipa: Complete Edition, as the 18th track on both.[45][46]

Critical reception

[edit]

In Rolling Stone, Ryan Reed labelled the song "steamy," while Spin's Dan Weiss stated that it "promises big things for her self-titled debut album."[15][22] Brennan Carley, also of Spin called it "a sure sign that pop music has a bit of life and personality left in it."[30] Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly stated that Lipa makes the aging tropical musical trend sound "fresher than ever" while also writing that when listening, one "[loses] themselves on a sun-kissed club somewhere along the palm tree-lined shores of pop music Heaven."[28] For Vulture, Justin McCraw stated that the song "[overflows] with sex appeal" and "oozes desire and temptation" as well as recommending playing it "after coming back from the bar with your third drink."[13] Bianca Gracie of Fuse labelled the song's themes "fiery" and "confident" and the beats "intense."[25] For Idolator, Rachel Sonis called it "moody and infectious" and labelled the chorus "sweltering."[26]

Lipa is seen walking into a red light and a party-goer sitting in a chair films the person across from them, before Lipa presses her hand against a brick wall. Lipa rolls a disco ball in her lap and seen in a dark room with a disco ball, before she is stands against a rainforest-painted wall. Lipa is then seen on a red throne, surrounded by the fellow party-goers.
