British singer, songwriter and model Dua Lipa has just released her new single “Hotter than hell”. The track, written by Dua and the band Ritual and produced by Stephen ‘KOZ’ Kozmeniuk (Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj), follows previous singles “Be the one” and “Last dance.”
The music video, directed by acclaimed director Emil Nava (Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran), was filmed in a London warehouse.
Dark and sexy, the clip shows the 20-year-old singer with a bunch of super attractive party-goers.
“It’s about a really horrible relationship — one that went off the rails” Lipa said of the song in an interview with BBC. “It was really bruising my ego and making me feel like I wasn’t worth it. I was heartbroken, but I started to write about that time and I felt I had a lot to say.”
Dua will perform around Europe at Glastonbury, Wireless and Pukkelpop before playing Lollapalooza at the end of the summer.
Lyrics:
He calls me the devil
I make him wanna sin
Every time I knock, he can’t help but let me in
Must be homesick for the real
I’m the realest it gets
You probably still adore me
With my hands around your neck
Can you feel the warmth? Yeah
As my kiss goes down you like some sweet alcohol
Where I’m coming from, yeah
It’s the darker side of me that makes you feel so numb
Cause we’re hot like hell
Does it burn when I’m not there?
When you’re by yourself
Am I the answer to your prayers
I’m giving you that pleasure heaven
And I’ll give it to you
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
You’re my manna from heaven
We all gotta get fed
Can let me know I’m wanted
Can let me in your head
I’m not here to make you kneel
But it’s praise that I’ll get
You ain’t gonna walk free boy
Not finished with you yet, no
Can you feel the warmth? Yeah
As my kiss goes down you like some sweet alcohol
Where I’m coming from, yeah
It’s the darker side of me that makes you feel so numb
Cause we’re hot like hell
Does it burn when I’m not there?
When you’re by yourself
Am I the answer to your prayers
I’m giving you the pleasure heaven
And I’ll give it to you
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
When we go down right there
You make me feel right there
When you lay me down right there
We just make it right there
Cause you’re looking so right there
Baby you should touch me right there
You can take me right there
We can make it
Cause we’re hot like hell
Does it burn when I’m not there?
When you’re by yourself
Am I the answer to your prayers
I’m giving you that pleasure heaven
And I’ll give it to you
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
And I’ll give it to you
Hotter than hell
