Critical reception

edit

Alex Fletcher ofDigital Spygave the song three out of five stars, saying "this track doesn't live up to the hype surrounding its singer, but the choppy guitars and whooshing synths have a certain charm."[4]In his review formusicOMH,Darren Harvey called "Hot n Cold" a "Tiffany-style'80spop number ".[5]ChartAttacknoted the "frenetic dance-pop" of the track.[6]In a less positive review, Sal Cinquemani fromSlant Magazinecriticized the song, saying "Perry confusespolitical incorrectnesswith being subversive on tracks like 'Hot n Cold', in which she, in the process of skewering guys who change their minds 'like girls change clothes', just winds up sounding mildlysexist."[10]Jon CaramanicaofThe New York Timescompared the song to "U + Ur Hand"byPink,which was also produced by Dr. Luke, saying that it does not share the latter's "passion".[11]Lizzie Ennever ofBBCfelt the track was not "the most single-worthy song".[12]The Guardianwrote that the song "didn't seem to capture the public's imagination" the way her previous single "I Kissed a Girl" did.[13]The song was nominated for theGrammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performanceat the52nd Annual Grammy Awards,[14]but lost toBeyoncé's "Halo".[15]

Perry corners Alexander leading a zebra on a leash, before he awakens from his daydream

The video begins with Perry at a wedding, about to exchange vows with her diffident fiancé Alexander (played by actor/model Alexander Francis Rodriguez). Perry says her vows, but Alexander hesitates and the church anxiously waits for him to say "I do". Perry appears frustrated and the music begins to play, with the congregation dancing as disco lights flash. Perry begins to sing the song to Alexander before he flees the altar. She pursues him, and they proceed to play acat-and-mouse game.Perry corners him in a warehouse, and Alexander is pulled into an audience and forced to crowd-surf while watching Perry perform the song on stage. He manages to escape but walks out to find Perry in her wedding dress surrounded by several other brides carrying baseball bats. Perry confronts him, but he is able to get away.

Perry and the other brides chase after him. When Alexander pulls out his phone, Perry is on the screen singing to him. He flees the warehouse and finds Perry outside wearingurban clothing,surrounded by dancers dressed similarly. When he turns around, he discovers that he has been cornered by Perry and the group of angry brides. He stumbles and the dancers surround him as he lies on the ground, before Perry approaches him leading a zebra on a leash. Alexander blinks and finds himself back at the altar in the church, revealing that the previous events were just a daydream. The priest asks him again if he accepts his vows, and this time he says "I do". The crowd in the church breaks out into cheers and sighs of relief as Perry runs victoriously down the aisle with him.
