Perry made the live television premiere performance of “Hot N Cold” on NBC’s Today show outdoor concert series on August 29th. Katy revealed in an interview with Radio 1 that "Hot N Cold" would in fact be the follow up single to her number one hit "I Kissed a Girl" in the United Kingdom and Australia. There are currently three radio edits. One being where the word "bitch" is replaced with the word "chick", being "You PMS, Like A Chick, I would know". The second mostly used on radio program Open House Party, this version uses "girl" instead of "bitch" or "chick". The final one was once played on Ryan Seacrest's American Top 40 radio show. In this version Perry sings "You PMS, I would know."
