Background
Regarding "Hotter than Hell", Lipa told Digital Spy , "I was in a relationship that really fucked me over. In the song, I twisted it so that I was in the better position and I was the one going 'fuck you'. That really helped me get over it. It was very therapeutic for me."[2] Speaking to BBC News , Lipa stated that the song 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."[3] 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."[4]
