"Hot Summer"
Song

"Hot Summer" is a house-pop song written and co-produced by Remee and Thomas Troelsen for German pop trio Monrose' second studio album, Strictly Physical (2007). It was released as the album's lead single on June 29, 2007 (see 2007 in music) in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and became the band's second number-one hit, reaching the top of the charts in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. The song also reached number 4 in Slovenia and entered the top 20 in Finland, where it served as the band's debut single.

Writing and recording

"Hot Summer" was one of the first collaborations producers Remee and then-new partner Thomas Troelsen worked on in the Delta Lab White recording studios in Copenhagen, Denmark in fall 2006.[1] The song was selected as the band's new single unanimously, aiming to break away from the ballad stereotype associated with the group.[2] The band has described the up-tempo track as a perfect "good mood song":[2] "The song is cool and sexy and goes straight into your dancing legs, [it's] our contribution to great summer parties," Monrose member Senna Guemmour said in an interview with the band's official website. She also discussed the 1980s and house music elements incorporated into the recording.[2] Mandy Capristo called the song a "promise": "It instantly raises your spirits, no matter if you're sitting in your car, dancing on the floor or eating ice-cream - 'Hot Summer' is just brimful of life."[2]

Although a twenty-second clip of "Hot Summer" was previewed on the ProSieben network's daily gossip television magazine taff on May 24, 2007, the band officially premiered the song during the season finale of the second cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel. Officially released on June 29, 2007, both the CD and digital single contain remixes by Tai Jason, Beathoavens and Patrick Flo Macheck of production team Mozart & Friends[3].

Music video

The music video for "Hot Summer" was directed by Bernard Wedig and shot on June 18, 2007 in Berlin, Germany. It premiered on June 26, 2007 on the band's official website, and received its first official airing on German music television network VIVA's show VIVA Live by June 28.

The video does not have a substantial plot but. The band is primarily shown dancing in front of white, black, blue and red backgrounds, intercut by several sequences of three male dancers. The camera work is hectic. In the middle of the video the black bars that appear on a 4:3 television at the top and bottom of the screen are displayed as video footage. The group members are able to interact with these bars and climb outside the screen. Media sources compared it with Dolce & Gabbana's 2006 television commercial "Dancefloor."

Chart performance

Due to strong first week sales of Mark Medlock and Dieter Bohlen's simultaneouly released duet "You Can Get It" the single failed the top of the German Singles Chart in its first week, debuting at number two. By contrast, it reached number-one of the first week's national download chart, leaving Medlock behind. In the second week, however, "Hot Summer" climbed to the top, becoming the band's second number-one hit within a period of seven months. The song also reached number 8 of the German Dance Chart.The song was eventually certified gold by the IFPI Germany.[4]

In Austria, "Hot Summer" instantly debuted at on top of the charts, leading to a Gold certification by the IFPI Austria.[5], and in Switzerland, the charts were topped in its fifth week of release. Receiving increasing airplay at some international radio stations, "Hot Summer" also entered the top 30 of the Airplay charts in Lithuania and Slovenia.

Trivia

  • The song is a tribute to Maneater by Nelly Furtado and SexyBack by Justin Timberlake.
