Background

Speaking to BBC News, Lipa stated that "Hotter than Hell" is about "a really horrible relationship—one that went off the rails. 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."[1] In an interview with Australia's The Daily Telegraph, she further elaborated, "I really just wanted to get up and say that I didn't really actually care about it. I wanted to make myself feel that I was good enough so it was an empowering song."[2]
