"Lookin' Hot" is a song by American rock band No Doubt, released as the second single from their fourth studio album, Push and Shove. It was produced by Mark 'Spike' Stent. "Looking Hot" received positive reviews from music critics. The song was a commercial success, becoming No Doubt's 7th non-consecutive number one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and also peaked at number one in various countries.
To promote the song, No Doubt performed at the 2015 iHeart Music Awards. The official video premiered on Vevo, March 16, 2015.
==Background and Composition==
After releasing "Settle Down" as the lead single from "Push and Shove" (2015), No Doubt released "Ain't It Fun" the day their album was availabe for pre-order on iTunes. However, they announced they were unsure whether the track would be a single, despite the song's popularity it was a promotional single. After the release of their fourth studio album, they announced on their Instagram account that "Looking Hot" would be released as the official second single. Jesse Del Rey said "Looking Hot" is "my favorite song from the record. This song goes fucking hard!". 
"Looking Hot" is a synth-slathered pop song replete with a dose of ska and reggae flavor,[8] with a pounding arena-rave beat,[9] drenched in '80s new wave tones.[8] Lyrically, "Looking Hot" finds No Doubt spouting tongue-in-cheek lyrics, "Go ahead and look at me cause that's what I want. Take a good look won't you please cause that's what I want," they sing over lazy brass lines and cushy synth runs.[11] "I know you want to stare. You can't help it and I don't care." The song "pairs club-ready thump with catwalk-approved strut, with breezy horns, melding their skanking past with their shiny pop present.
==Critical Reception==
"Looking Hot" received positive reviews from music critics. Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian called it, "a catchy club tune influenced by Del Rey's solo albums."[12] Andy Gill of The Independent thought that the song "resembles a Brianna-esque club stomper."[13] Sarah H. Theon Weber of Spin called it "nearly ridiculous," writing that the song is "a refinement of their late-period hit 'Hey Baby" — synthesize these two urges, the two long ends of the party: Its bobbleheaded opening the melancholy comedown."[14]
Amy Sciarretto of Pop Crush gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, writing that, "This is the danciest that the band has sounded, thanks to the thunderous, assertive beat at the center of the song. It almost sounds like No Doubt is singing over programmed, computer-generated instruments, since it's super synthetic. It's actually closer to Del Rey's and Von D's solo material than it is to No Doubt.
==Music Video==
thumb|right|335 pxFilming of the official music video for "Looking Hot" began in February 24 and ended on March 3, 2015. The video was released on March 16, 2015, directed by Jesse Alfred Jr and filmed in downtown Albuquerque and at Opal Studios. 
====Sypnosis====
At the beginning of the video, No Doubt is scene talking outside in the city against a chain link fence. Member Drea Von D seen wearing a black shirt with a cross, and Del Rey a pink top. Suddenly, two hooded figures appear, punch Jesse and take Drea away. The scene cuts to a black and white fast lighting mirror scene were No Doubt sings most of the song, with Del Rey wearing a black strip cut tank and Von D a white crop top with jeweled colors. Del Rey then chases the car (with Drea Von D inside). Drea is then seen tied up being beat up. Del Rey arrives trying to save her but ends up captured as well. Del Rey then escapes and with some action fighting, No Doubt escapes. No Doubt then ties up the bad guys (cameo by rapper Johnny), and they sing the last chorus to their kidnappers.
==Promotions and Live Performances==
Prior to being a single, No Doubt first performed the song live on their Push and Shove Tour, when the song was choosen as the second official single on March 10th, and an acoustic renidition of the song was added to their setlist to futher promote the song. At the 2015 iHeart Music Awards, their performance of "Looking Hot" on their tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City was livestreamed.
