Hot and Cold


"Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry is a pop song originally released in 2008. It was written and performed by Katy Perry and co-written by Dr. Luke and Max Martin. The song talks about the confusing and unstable behavior of someone in a relationship, who frequently changes their feelings and opinions. A curious fact is that the music video showcases Perry as a bridezilla, reflecting the ups and downs of the lyrics. The melody is catchy and upbeat, featuring a mix of pop and rock elements.
