Hot N Cold

創作背景

《Hot n Cold》的創作靈感來源於凱蒂·佩里的前男友，同時，這首作品也是凱蒂·佩里受到受到後者對她態度忽冷忽熱的啟發而創作的一首歌曲，某一天，凱蒂·佩里的前男友答應她會送給自己一樣東西，這令她激動不已，同時也令她擔心著另一件事，那就是當對方對她失去了所有興趣之後，自己會不會失去他。

然而她左等右等都沒有等到他的承諾，這件事讓凱蒂·佩里感到懊惱，因為他不知道自己和他相處的時候做錯了什麼事，才會讓她轉變態度。這讓凱蒂·佩里懷疑她的前男友是不是“雙面人”，或者他的身上是不是戴著一枚“心情戒指”，這促使凱蒂·佩里寫下這首《Hot n Cold》來表達自己的感受。

You change your mind

Like a girl changes clothes

Yeah you PMS

Like a bitch

I would know

And you over think

Always speak

Crypticly

I should know

That you're no good for me

Cause you're hot then you're cold

You're yes then you're no

You're in then you're out

You're up then you're down

You're wrong when it's right

It's black and it's white

We fight we break up

We kiss we make up

You don't really want to stay no

But you don't really want to go-o

You're hot then you're cold

You're yes then you're no

You're in and you're out

You're up and you're down

We used to be

Just like twins

So in sync

The same energy

Now's a dead battery
