"I'm Really Hot" is a song by American rapper Missy Elliott. It was written and produced by Elliott and Timbaland for her fifth studio album, This Is Not a Test! (2003). Released as the second and final single from the album in January 2004, it reached the top 20 of the Danish Singles Chart. The accompanying music video makes reference to the Quentin Tarantino movie Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and includes a dance break over "Hot Music" by Soho.

Music video

A music video for "I'm Really Hot" was directed by Bryan Barber. Billboard critic Brian Josephs noted that the clip "expands on the love of Japanese culture from the Meyers videos and makes it the main crux. Missy has beef with a Japanese crew, so they dance through it. 'I'm Really Hot' works more as a time capsule than most Missy videos from the '00s, with its loose-fitting blazer/jeans attire. And krumping."
