Background


Bassist Calum Hood stated in an interview with radio host Angus O'Loughiln: "The title is really misleading because the song is about people not caring of what others think, it's a revolution for outcasts. It has a deep meaning." Lead guitarist Michael Clifford stated, "The song is heavy as hell, heavier than our previous songs. We were shocked but happy with the reviews."


Composition


"She's Kinda Hot" is composed in the key of E major with a tempo of 116–120 beats per minute.[7] Both the verses and chorus are based around twelve-bar blues, specifically, the shuffle-blues chord progression (I I I I / IV IV I I / V IV I I).


Music video


The video directed by Isaac Rentz and shot at the Warner Brothers lot in Hollywood has the band heading into a McMansion garage and working on a vehicle and then, for some reason, are now lounging on the porch of a different house that is more modest farmhouse with deciduous trees and Michael plays an acoustic guitar Deliverance-style. Intercut is scenes of a guy playing a video game in a 70's style basement with '80s touches and sodacans/pizza/takeout, a guy eats a bowl of cereal and a guy attends a psychotherapist session. All guys get in undesirable situations with high functioning society participants, the video gamer gets harangued by a girlfriend and her friends then abandoned, the cereal eater gets milk and cereal poured on his head by his older jock brother and his friend and the psychotherapist completeley drives her client to a rage. The band then drives their band stage float thats in the style of the Japanese-esque dekotora and then puts on a street concert for the neighbourhoods kid. The video ends with the camera panning up into the night sky and the vehicle exhaust fumes dissipating.


Extended play


The extended play was released in 2015 which contains four tracks: "She’s Kinda Hot - Alternative Version", "Broken Pieces", "Over And Out", and "Lost In Reality".
