Song title

Although the title was considered a play on Megan Thee Stallion's song "Hot Girl Summer",[1] Blackbear claimed that it was not a parody and was instead a reference to the "caption trend" of using the hashtag "#hotgirlsummer".[2]

Music video

Blackbear released the music video on August 23, 2019, with the same day as the song's release. It features him as a puppet on a string, which was called a "comment on people who are fake on social media".[2]

The music video consists of Blackbear surrounded by people at a party while sitting on a white couch, as well as being attached to strings and being moved in a puppet like manner by a man in a suit.

Commercial performance

"Hot Girl Bummer" is Blackbear's second top 40 hit (as well as his third certified single), reaching number 11 in March 2020. It is also his highest charting record to date, surpassing the number 40 peak of "Do Re Mi".[3]

Remix

On December 12, 2019, the song's remix was released along with Argentine rapper Khea.[4]
