The first verse acknowledges the struggles and failures in life, but encourages the listener to have faith in themselves and become one with their true self.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I got a hot stuff, come and get it" implying that the singer has confidence, strength and the ability to inspire others. The lyrics also suggest that listening to your heart and believing in yourself is the key to achieving your desires, which is further emphasized in the second verse when the song states that you should follow your dreams and pursue them rather than chasing something you think you need.
The song also talks about living life to the fullest and taking risks to achieve success. The lyrics encourage people to take advantage of opportunities and not to be afraid of trying new things. Overall, this song is a call to live a bold and audacious life full of self-belief, assertion and taking risks.
