"'''Hot'''" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter [[Avril Lavigne]]
Commercially, the song was more successful in Australia, Canada and a few European countries, while it was a commercial disappointment in the United States. Lavigne performed the song at the [[MTV Europe Music Awards 2007|2007 MTV Europe Music Awards]], [[American Music Awards]], on ''[[The Friday Night Project]]'' and many more. The music video directed by [[Matthew Rolston]] shows Lavigne in a more "sexy" way, with a "1920s [[burlesque]]" theme.
==Background and release==
After the success of her debut album, ''[[Let Go (Avril Lavigne album)|Let Go]]'' (2002), Lavigne released her second album, ''[[Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne album)|Under My Skin]]'' (2004), which debuted at number one in more than ten countries
