It was released worldwide on 17 July 2015. The music video was released on 5 August 2015 and has more than 50 million views as of 7 August 2018.

Background[]

Bassist Calum Hood stated in an interview with radio host Angus O'Loughiln: "The title is really misleading because the song is about people not caring of what others think, it's a revolution for outcasts. It has a deep meaning." Lead guitarist Michael Clifford stated, "The song is heavy as hell, heavier than our previous songs. We were shocked but happy with the reviews."

Composition[]

"She's Kinda Hot" is composed in the key of E major with a tempo of 116–120 beats per minute.[7]

Extended play[]
