It was recorded in December 2007 in three studios: Dr. Luke's Studios in New York City, Conway Recording Studio in Hollywood, California and Legacy Recording Studios in New York; and was mixed in MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach. The collaboration between Perry and Dr. Luke was set up by record executives at Capitol Records, who felt that ''One of the Boys'' was lacking an "undeniable smash or two" at the time, and the two co-wrote "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold" as a result.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_AnokuteCorrection.html )〕 Perry revealed that the song was originally considered for release as the album's first single, before "I Kissed a Girl" was chosen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thestarscoop.com/music/katy-perry-exclusive-interview/ )〕 Written in the key of G major,〔 "Hot n Cold" is a pop and dance-pop song which utilizes guitars and synthesizers.〔〔 It has a length of three minutes and forty seconds (3:40),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/one-of-the-boys/id715891425 )〕 and runs at a moderately fast tempo of 132 beats per minute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=MN0067923& )〕 The lyrics of the song address a lover of Perry whose mood swings are affecting the couple's relationship. The song opens with Perry confronting her former partner over his frequent changes of mind, singing "You change your mind like a girl changes clothes / Yeah you PMS like a bitch". In the chorus, she uses antonyms to describe her partner's mood changes, with the chorus of the song including the lines "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". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot n Cold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
