"Hot n Cold" is a song by American singer Katy Perry. The song was written and composed by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Perry for her major mainstream debut album, One of the Boys. The track was released as the album's third single. Its chorus features a series of binary opposites (such as hot/cold, yes/no, in/out, up/down, wrong/right, black/white) to emphasize the unstable nature of the characters' relationship. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Perry's second consecutive top three single, after her previous worldwide hit "I Kissed a Girl". The single has also become Perry's second top five single in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, and topped the charts in Finland, Germany, Canada, Norway, Spain and Denmark, and has topped the charts in 15 countries. As of September 2011, "Hot N Cold" has sold over five million digital downloads.^[1]

Song information

Blender magazine calls the track a "spunky, climate-controlled kiss-off."^[2] The song went for ads on the North American radios on September 9 and remained the song with one of the biggest bullets of the entire mediabase for weeks. Katy Perry made the live television premiere performance of "Hot n Cold" on NBC's Today show outdoor concert series on August 29. Perry 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 four radio edits: in one, "bitch" is replaced with the word "chick", ("You PMS, like a chick, I would know"); in the second, mostly used on radio program Open House Party, this version uses "girl" instead of "bitch" or "chick" (in a version once played on Ryan Seacrest's American Top 40 radio show, the lyrics are "You PMS, I would know"); in another edit, the lyrics first line of the song was repeated after the line was sung in full ("You change your mind, like a girl, I would know"), this edit can be heard in theme parks; finally, the radio edit that is used on UK music channels cuts out the word altogether. Perry performed the song live at the MTV EMAs in Liverpool, which she hosted, on November 6, 2008, to close the show after opening it with "I Kissed a Girl". A remixed version of the track has also been released for play in the iPhone OS game Tap Tap Revenge. The song was also performed as the opener at the first annual 2008 YouTube Live on November 22, 2008.^[3]

Perry sang the song in Simlish for the soundtrack of Sims 2: Apartment Life.^[4]

The single was nominated for the 52nd Grammy Awards in the category of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Perry said in an interview with Open House Party that the song was about ex-boyfriend Travie McCoy in the early stages of their relationship.^{[citation needed]}

In 2010, Perry performed a version of the song intended for the children's television show Sesame Street which was released on websites such as YouTube. However, the producers of Sesame Street decided not to air the segment on the show after receiving complaints that Perry's revealing wardrobe was not appropriate for children.^[5]

Chart performance

"Hot n Cold" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 on June 28, 2008, due to digital downloads after the album's release. It debuted on the Hot 100 at number 88 and fell off the next week. It re-entered the Hot 100 on August 23, again at number 88. It peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100 on November 22, making it her second top-three hit. It was in the top ten for 18 weeks ("I Kissed A Girl" spent 14 weeks there). "Hot n Cold" was later certified four-times-platinum by the RIAA. With digital sales now in excess of five million copies, "Hot n Cold" is the best-selling single of her career in the USA, despite never reaching No. 1.^[1] In Canada the song debuted at number 73 and reached number 1 on the chart dated November 20, 2008. The song was an even bigger radio hit than "I Kissed a Girl", where it became Perry's first number 1 on both US Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Top 40 radio charts. As of September 2011, it had sold more than 5,011,000 digital downloads in the United States.^[6]

The UK Singles Chart singles chart saw the song peak at number four on December 7 after slowly creeping up the top ten the previous weeks, despite seeming set to drop in midweek figures. On December 21 it fell out the top 10 to number 12 before climbing back up to number 9 the following week and has continued to climb since then reaching number 7 on January 4, 2009. In Ireland, the song peaked at number 3.

"Hot n Cold" entered the German Singles Chart at number 2 due to high digital download sales. This is the highest entry ever of a single based on downloads alone in Germany. In its second week it peaked at number 1 in Germany, and spent eight consecutive weeks on its peak position.^[7] In Australia, the single debuted in the top 50, then quickly reached the top 10. It then slowly reached its peak at number 4 on digital downloads alone, with no physical release planned. It also peaked at number 1 on the Australian Airplay Chart. In Greece it reached number 3 on the airplay chart.^[8] It peaked at number 1 in the Czech Republic, and spent ten consecutive weeks at its peak position.^[9]

Music video

The music video for "Hot n Cold", which was partially filmed at First Christian Church of North Hollywood, casts Perry at a wedding, about to exchange vows with her diffident fiancé Alexander (played by Perry's friend, actor/model Alexander Rodriguez). He flees the altar before taking his vow, she pursues him, and they proceed to play a cat-and-mouse game. Katy and her backup dancers (including supermodel Kim Lee) corner him several times in different clothing: as a bride leading bridesmaids carrying baseball bats, as a club singer in red leather, and in street clothes. As she sings the song's verses to him, she appears alternately anguished, angry, and seductive. At the end of the video, it is revealed that the whole pursuit was Alexander's fantasy, and he is still standing at the altar while Katy waits for him to say "I do". He does, and the crowd in the church breaks out into cheers as Katy runs victoriously down the aisle with him. Katy's friend Jadyn Maria appeared in the music video as a bridesmaid.^[10]
