Let's go
I'm dressing up for tonight
Don't need no list no invite
I'm here to dance, dance,
d-d-dance, dance
We head the street to the bar
We're here to dance, dance
d-d-dance, dance
Moving, moving
I feel the vibe is getting loud yeah
Moving, moving
And now the club is overcrowded
And at the top of the night
I caught a ride in the sight
I took a chance, chance
She's cooler than ice
Flyer than wind
Hotter than fire
This is the night
I'm burning within
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
She rocks that outfit for me
Red dress, H. O. T. indeed
So I advance-vance,
a-advance-vance
Her siluette triggers death
She's got me catching my breath
She's so advance-vance,
a-advance-vance
Moving, moving
I feel the vibe is getting loud yeah
Moving, moving
We're meant to be no doubt about it
And at the end of the night
I'm leaving without a sight
I took a chance, chance
She's cooler than ice
Flyer than wind
Hotter than fire
This is the night
I'm burning within
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
I said it TNT
Burning up, get about your seat
They try but can't compete
'Cause I'm complete
I said it TNT
Burning up, get about your seat
They try but can't compete
'Cause I'm complete
She's cooler than ice
Flyer than wind
Hotter than fire
This is the night
I'm burning within
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
I say I'm flammable,
I'm TNT, light up
She's hotter than fire
The lyrics of the song "Hotter Than Fire" by Eric Saade feat. Dev talk about a guy who is dressing up for the night and is ready to hit the club. He does not need an invitation, and he is there to dance all night. He goes to the bar, grabs a drink, and starts dancing. As the night goes on, he feels the vibe getting louder, and the club gets overcrowded. He is having a good time until a girl catches his eye. This girl is "cooler than ice, flyer than wind, hotter than fire," and she has him burning within. He is flammable, and she is TNT. They dance the night away, and he leaves the club missing her.
It seems like the song is about the excitement and thrill of going out at night, meeting new people, and dancing until the sun comes up. The lyrics describe the feeling of being alive and how one person can captivate you in a way that no one else can. It seems like the guy is describing the girl like she is the definition of hotness with her outfit, silhouette, and her presence.
Overall, "Hotter Than Fire" is a song that can get you moving and dancing. The vocals of Eric Saade and Dev blend perfectly with the upbeat instrumental music. In essence, it's a song about living life to the fullest, seizing the moment, and enjoying every minute of it.

I'm dressing up for tonight
I'm getting ready for a night out
Don't need no list no invite
I don't need an invitation or guest list to have a good time
We head the street to the bar
We go to the bar on the street
One drink became many more
We had more drinks than we planned
Moving, moving
We're dancing
I feel the vibe is getting loud yeah
The atmosphere is getting more energetic
And now the club is overcrowded
The club is packed with people
And at the top of the night
At the peak of the evening
I caught a ride in the sight
I saw someone I was interested in
She's cooler than ice
She's very cool
Flyer than wind
She's very stylish
Hotter than fire
She's very attractive
This is the night
Tonight is the night for us
I'm burning within
I'm very excited
I say I'm flammable, I'm TNT, light up
I'm ready to have a good time and be explosive
She rocks that outfit for me
She's wearing an outfit I like
Red dress, H.O.T. indeed
She looks hot in her red dress
Her siluette triggers death
Her figure is stunning
She's got me catching my breath
She takes my breath away
We're meant to be no doubt about it
We belong together
I'm leaving without a sight
I'm leaving without seeing her again
I said it TNT, Burning up, get about your seat
I'm ready to have a great time and dance
They try but can't compete, 'Cause I'm complete
No one can match me because I'm confident and happy
