Aaliyah - Hot Like Fire

About "Hot Like Fire"

"Hot Like Fire" is a song recorded by American singer Aaliyah for her second studio album One in a Million (1996). The song was written by both Missy Elliot and Timbaland, with the latter producing the song. In 1997 it was re-recorded and released as the fifth and final single from One in a Million with "The One I Gave My Heart To" on September 16, 1997 by Blackground Records and Atlantic Records.

Musically, the album version is a Trip hop song, while the single remix version is a "jeep-friendly" funk song with a bouncing beat and features ad-libs from Timbaland. Lyrically, the song is sexually suggestive, with the narrator (Aaliyah) promising a potential lover that she is worth the wait.

Upon its release, the song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising both Aaliyah's vocal delivery and the song's production. In the United States, "Hot Like Fire" barely charted on any of the major Billboard charts, being largely overshadowed by its A-side "The One I Gave My Heart To"; it peaked at number 31 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Internationally, the song peaked at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart.

An accompanying video for "Hot Like Fire" was directed by Lance "Un" Rivera. The video depicts Aaliyah in a red themed party setting. It features cameo appearances from Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Lil' Kim, and other celebrities. It received critical acclaim, with many critics noting that the video helped bring the song to life.
