With their new song HOT, LE SSERAFIM sings about love for the first time in a title track since their debut. Having focused on self-reflective and autobiographical themes from the beginning, the group's take on love had already captured public attention even before the album's release.
At their showcase event on the day of the album launch, the members explained, "If you listen to the lyrics of this title track, you'll see that it’s not just about romantic love. It can be about loving what you do, embracing our still-imperfect selves, or appreciating those who support and love us despite our flaws. We wanted to express a broader sense of love."
Through their previous releases, LE SSERAFIM has conveyed messages like "We will move forward fearlessly" (FEARLESS) and "We will break free from the world's rules and walk our own path" (UNFORGIVEN). Their thoughts and emotions remain deeply embedded in HOT as well.
At first glance, lyrics such as "So tonight, hold me in your arms" and "Hug me tight, my dear" may seem like a typical love song. However, as the lyrics unfold, it becomes clear—just as the members mentioned—that the subject of love expands far beyond romantic relationships. A particularly striking line that resonated with many listeners is: "If I can live as myself, I don’t mind turning into ashes." This verse clearly demonstrates that HOT is not just about love for someone else but also about self-love.
LE SSERAFIM faced significant hardships last year. In situations where they could have broken down, they released HOT, a song that carries deeper meaning when seen through the lens of their struggles. The lyric "If I can live as myself, I don’t mind turning into ashes" delivers a profound impact, offering solace to those currently facing difficult times and drawing attention to the song's heartfelt message.
As they have always done, LE SSERAFIM poured their real experiences, thoughts, and emotions into HOT. The song speaks of dedicating everything to what one loves, regardless of pain or uncertainty. With such sincerity embedded in their lyrics, it’s no wonder that listeners find themselves drawn to HOT.
