[5] Daniel Stein and The Invisible Men wrote the song while Daniel Stein and Wez Clarke produced it.
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review stating:
Judging by the results of his latest track,we assume that the burden became all-too-great. Yes,the head-spinning breakneck beats and fuzzy basslines are impressive,as are the efforts of rising Roc Nation-signed guest singer Rita Ora,but there's something lacking here that made 'Louder' the hit that it was. Our suggestion? Lyrics such as "Turn it up right now/ Put your hands in the air if you want it right now" can't be doing him many favours. . [6]
"Hot Right Now" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart,becoming DJ Fresh's second and Ora's first UK number one,selling over 128,000 copies in its first week. [3] By the end of the year,"Hot Right Now" sold 482,000 copies in the United Kingdom,making it the 23rd best-selling single of 2012. [7]
