Dua Lipa embraces the bad-girl mentality – and then some – in “Hotter Than Hell”, a tropical-house-influenced track that employs religious images as a metaphor for a passionate love.

The song was released as the fourth single from her self titled album.

Lipa spoke to the BBC News and The New York Times saying it was inspired by a “really horrible relationship [that] went off the rails. It was really bruising my ego and making me feel like I wasn’t worth it.”

This guy just made me feel like I wasn’t good enough, always kicking me down in a way emotionally. And I was in the mood to write a really sad song. But when I started writing lyrics I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to let him hear how he made me feel.’ I didn’t want to show weakness — that’s not what I wanted to portray. And I was like: ‘O.K., I’m going to flip the script. I’m going to make it seem as if he couldn’t get enough of me.’ And instantly, the second I started writing, I started feeling better about the situation because I went into this imaginative world where everything had changed.
