"Hot" is a song by Romanian singer Inna, extracted from her debut studio album, Hot (2009). Written and produced by Sebastian Barac, Radu Bolfea and Marcel Botezan of Play & Win, "Hot" was released late as the lead single from her debut studio album, Hot (2009). The song is an uptempo electro house song, with it containing elements of trance music. Lyrically, it tells a story of how strong a connection between two lovers can become. Contemporary critics received "Hot" very well, with reviewers complimenting its beats, simplicity and effectiveness.

The track was a commercial success, reaching the top-ten in Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Czech Republic, France, Netherlands and Romania. "Hot" has been accompanied by two European club-themed official music video versions, with the first being released on 10 November 2008. Inna has promoted the song at various gigs across Europe and has also performed it on the 2009 Eska Music Awards, Legendario Ice Experience, Loop Live and the Sopot Hit Festival in Poland.

The production and writing process was handled by Romanian dance music trio Play & Win. Before meeting Inna, they also had notable success in their home country and ranked high on the Romanian Top 100 with their own productions. Inna recorded the song in 2008 at the Play & Win Studios located in Constanta, Romania, while the song was published through her Romanian record label Roton. Evoking that the song's title "Hot" is an adjective for one's relationship, to the extent that when your lover is far away, you are still in love with him/her. The track features male vocals in some of the ad-libs as well as in the intro lyric "Go!". Inna's ad-libs fall in after the first chorus. "Hot" is composed in a tempo of 128 beats per minute and has been stylised to the European electro house genre. The single is composed in the style of: verse – chorus – ad-libs – ad-libs – chorus – ad-libs – chorus – chorus, with its build-up to the first verse being approximately forty-five seconds long. Two of the three ad-lib sections are sung by the male vocals of Marcel Botezan of Play & Win. "Hot" appears on numerous compilation albums including 538 Dance Smash 2009 Vol. 4, 538 Dance Smash – Hits Of The Year 2009, Damn! 26 – 100% Dance Hits, Disco Estrella Vol. 12, DJ Selection 262 – The Balkanian Explosion, Grandmix 2009, Hot! Summer Hits 2009, Jaarmix 2009, Love2Club, Máxima Fm Compilation Vol. 10, Radio 538 – Hitzone – Best Of 2009 and Todo Exitos 2009. In January 2010, an Ultra video mix which includes "Hot," as well as "All That Matters" by Mischa Daniels vs. De Nuit and "Feel It In My Bones" by Tiësto featuring Tegan And Sara was released by DJ Riddler on American record label Ultra Music. Another remix by Electrow Jungs was produced for "Hot". It features Cuban-American rapper Pitbull.
