[Intro – vinyl crackle, filtered disco loop slowly opening, soft kick] [Verse 1 – filtered bass groove, muted guitar licks, light piano stabs] Snow on the window, city lights freeze Breath turns to diamonds in the midnight degrees But your hands on my waist start a fire inside Zero outside, but I’m burning alive [Pre-Chorus – filter opening, bass walking up, string swell] Ice on the streets Heat in my veins You pull me close And the winter breaks [Chorus Drop – full French House glory: pumping sidechain, disco loop wide open, brass stabs, vocal chop “HOT-HOT-HOT”] (HOT! HOT! HOT!) I feel hot when it’s cold outside Body glowing under neon skies (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Freeze the world but you ignite my night I feel hot, hot, hot when it’s cold outside [Verse 2 – funkier bass, clav hits, whispered ad-libs] Jacket on the floor, boots still dripping snow Heartbeat like a kick drum, 128 and it shows Your lips taste like December, but they melt me slow Turn the thermostat to hell, baby, let it go [Pre-Chorus – bigger filter sweep, crowd “hey!” samples] Frost on the glass Steam on the mirror One touch from you And the seasons disappear [Chorus Drop – richer layers, added Philly strings + piano solo tease] (HOT! HOT! HOT!) I feel hot when it’s cold outside Body glowing under neon skies (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Freeze the world but you ignite my night I feel hot, hot, hot when it’s cold outside [Instrumental Break – classic French filter disco workout, guitar licks + brass riff] [Final Chorus Drop – maximum euphoria, octave-up vocals, extra brass fanfare] (HOT! HOT! HOT!) I feel hot when it’s cold outside Dancing through the snow till the sunrise (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Winter can try but it’ll never win this fight I feel hot, hot, hot when it’s cold… so cold outside [Outro – filter slowly closing on disco loop, soft kick fade, vinyl run-out] Still hot… Still hot…
