Britney recorded three songs with T-Pain, only one (that he wrote and did not produce) was released ("Hot As Ice") and was produced by Danja. The two unreleased songs he collaborated on with her and produced are titled "Boyfriend" and "One Of A Kind."
"They are rebellious songs," says T-Pain, born Faheem Najim. "It's her letting everybody know she doesn't care about all the crap going on in the media."
Hot as Ice
Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just a girl with the ability to drive a man crazy
Make him call me mama
Make him my new baby
New and improved, hey saying thank you very much
Living legend
You can look but don't touch, cause I'm
Cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
I'm cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
Break it down, break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down, break it down
This ain't no foolishness or fuckery
I'm handling my business
Holler if you hear me
Can I get a witness?
Preacher, preacher
I'm the teacher, you can learn
Watch your fingers, boy, you might get burned
Cause I'm
Cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
I'm cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
Break it down, break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down, break it down
As you can see
Fortunately, I'm cold as fire
(Yeah, I'm cold as fire)
Yeah, make you believe
Make you stop and breathe
I'll take you higher
I'm just too cool
Make it do what it do
I'm hot as ice now
(Yeah, I'm hot as ice now)
Make you feel like heaven twenty four seven
I'm hot as ice now, oh!
Cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
I'm cold as fire, baby, hot as ice
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice
Break it down, break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down, break it down
The opening lines establish the singer's confident and assertive persona. Britney Spears imagines herself as a woman who can easily attract and control men, making them call her "mama" or "new baby." She describes herself as "new and improved," thanking her admirers, and establishing herself as a living legend. Then she warns them: they can look, but they cannot touch. She is unattainable and untouchable.
The chorus of the song highlights the singer's contrasting duality: "Cold as fire, baby, hot as ice." Britney Spears presents herself as a paradox, a person who is both cold and hot, simultaneously. She boasts that if anyone has ever been to heaven, then being with her is twice as nice. The repetitions and variations of these phrases reinforce the idea that the singer is confident, in control, and cannot be tamed.
The second verse reinforces the singer's determined and professional attitude about her music career. She asserts that she is "handling her business" and invites her listeners to holler if they hear her. Britney Spears presents herself as a preacher and a teacher, warning her male audience to watch their fingers lest they get burned. She concludes the song by restating her hot as ice imagery, reiterating her desire to make her listeners feel like they are in heaven twenty-four seven.
