Although the title was considered a play on Megan Thee Stallion's song "Hot Girl Summer",[2] Blackbear claimed that it was not a parody and was instead a reference to the social media trend of using the hashtag "#hotgirlsummer".[3]
Two music videos were released for the song, blackbear - hot girl bummer [Low Budget Video] and blackbear - hot girl bummer [big budget music video]. 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".[3]
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.[4]
"Hot Girl Bummer" is Blackbear's second top 40 hit (as well as his third certified single), reaching number 11 in March 2020. It is also his highest-charting record to date, surpassing the number 40 peak of "Do Re Mi".[5]
The song contains a spoken line by Will Forte in Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie.[6]
On December 12, 2019, the song's remix was released along with Argentine rapper and singer Khea.[7]
