Annotations and Meaning:

"Hot In It" by Tiësto & Charli XCX is a hot-tempered and wild track, just perfect for throwing a dance full of self-confidence and assurance. The lyric text of the track is a tribute to liberty and individual empowerment, speaking of moving on from the previously ruined relationship.
Charli XCX hollers lines like, "You won't see me cryin' on the bathroom floor / I ain't never coming back for more," which would really be the perfect example of a clear break involving vulnerability and a rejection of this dysfunctional relationship. The chorus is simply saying, "I look hot in it, hot in it; I look hot in it," a great way of encouraging your self-esteem and body positivity.
It firmly puts the emphasis on feeling great in your own skin and owning whatever you look like as a new source of power and empowerment. The message through this refrain could not be any clearer, one of self-love and independence in a new, energetic light. With the recurring theme of dance and merrymaking, "Tonight I'm gon' be rockin' it, droppin' it / Shake my ass, no stoppin' it," it clearly outlines maybe the subject of liberty and good times. Enjoying, for example, suggests a night out having fun without care for what others may think.
