"Hot n Cold"
Song

"Hot N Cold" is the third single from Katy Perry's album, One of the Boys. It will be released on September 30, 2008 to the United States and Canada.[1] It was released in Australia on September 10.

Song information

The song has already charted due to strong digital downloads in both the US and Canada. It has also already started to increase massively in airplay since major Top 40 radio stations across the country, including the national Top 40 format leader Z-100 WHTZ/New York, have jumped on adding the single. Blender Magazine calls the track a “spunky, climate-controlled kiss-off,” and Entertainment Weekly agrees, “It’s damn fun.” A video is scheduled for a Los Angeles shoot late in August, with official release to radio early in September. Perry did make the premiere live television 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. The radio edit replaces the word "bitch" with the word "chick".

Music video

Video shoots of the new video are now released to the web. [2] The music video will premiere October 1, 2008 on MySpace.
