Song title

Although the title was considered to be a play on Megan Thee Stallion's song "Hot Girl Summer", Blackbear claimed that it was not a parody and was instead a reference to the social media trend of using the hashtag "#hotgirlsummer".

Music videos

Two music videos were released for the song, blackbear - hot girl bummer and blackbear - hot girl bummer . Blackbear released the first music video on August 23, 2019, with the same day as the song's release. The music video consists of Blackbear surrounded by people at a party while sitting on a white couch, as well as being attached to strings and being moved in a puppet like manner by a man in a suit, which was called a "comment on people who are fake on social media".
The second music video was released on November 21, 2019, and features Blackbear appearing to be sitting on a skyscraper, on a couch, and dancing in a cage.
