Lucy DacusAbout
In lead single from Home Video, Lucy Dacus uses a double entendre for “Hot & Heavy”. Whilst referring to the sexually charged “hot and heavy” idiom, it also links back to a red face (hot blood) and strong memories of the past (heavy memories).
As with the bulk of Home Video, “Hot & Heavy” i...
Hot & Heavy Lyrics
[Chorus]
Being back here makes me hot in the face
Hot blood in my pulsing veins
Heavy memories weighing on my brain
Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place
You used to be so sweet
Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street
Couldn't look away even if I wanted
Try to walk away but I come back to the start
[Verse]
Led me to the floor even though I'm not a dancer
Asked me all the questions that your parents wouldn't answer
How could I deny a diamond in the rough?
You let me in your world until you had enough
You knew that I wanted you to bend the rules
How did I believe I had a hold on you?
You were always stronger than people suspected
Underestimated and overprotected
When I went away, it was the only option
Couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution
The most that I could give to you was nothing at all
The best that I could offer was to miss your calls
[Chorus]
Being back here makes me hot in the face
Hot blood in my pulsing veins
Heavy memories weighing on my brain
Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place
You used to be so sweet
Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street
Couldn't look away even if I wanted
Try to walk away but I come back to the start
[Bridge]
And it happens over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
I wish I was over it, over it, over it, over it
[Outro]
A hidden gem, my own goldmine
You had the wide and wild eyes
You were a secret to yourself
You couldn't keep from anyone else
Now you're the biggest, brightest flame
You are a fire that can't be tamed
You're better than ever, but I knew you when
It's bittersweet to see you again

What did Lucy Dacus say about "Hot & Heavy"?
I thought I was writing ‘Hot & Heavy’ about an old friend, but I realized along the way that it was just about me outgrowing past versions of myself.
So much of life is submitting to change and saying goodbye even if you don’t want to. Now whenever I go to places that used to be significant to...
What did Lucy Dacus say about "Hot & Heavy"?
My first big tour in 2016—after my first record came out—was two and a half months, and at the very end of it, I broke up with my partner at the time. I came back to Richmond after being gone for the longest I’d ever been away and everything felt different: people’s perception of me; my friend group...
Why did Lucy chose this song as the album opener?
Something I learned in film school before I dropped out is that the title sequence of a movie should let you know what the whole movie is going to be about. Likewise, a record’s first song should be like a palette introduction that sets the tone. The tones here are nervousness, contemplation, nostal...
