Jason Derulo has followed up his recent single Mamacita with another brand new track. This one, Too Hot, celebrates the sexy heat of summer, taking its cues from island-style dancehall beats. The rhythmic number, driven by acoustic guitar riffs and a funky beat, sees Derulo celebrating the real benefit of the summer season. Its summertime and you know, he croons, its too hot for clothes.

Earlier this summer Derulo dropped Mamacita, an upbeat single that features Puerto Rican rapper-singer Farruko, and self-directed a sultry music video for the track. Too Hot is only his second solo release this year, presumably leading up to the singers next album. His last album, Everything Is 4, was released in 2015 and Derulo has since dropped several tracks, including Swalla with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign in 2017. The singer will reportedly include these tracks on his upcoming fifth album, which has yet to get a release date.
After dropping Swalla, Derulo told Rolling Stone, Theres so much shit that I want to release right now. Ive got so much shit. I feel like this album is my greatest work thus far. It shows a totally different side people dont know yet a very vulnerable side. Very vulnerable but also very vocal-centric music as well, which people havent gotten a huge taste of yet.
The singer will also appear in the upcoming movie version of Cats alongside Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and James Corden.
