Hot Body

"Hot Body" is a song by Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, released on 25 July 2025, through Mavin Records and Roc Nation. Produced by Ragee with additional input from The Elements and mixed by Johnny Drille, the track blends Afrobeats with dancehall and pop influences. It was issued as a standalone single during a period of international recognition for Starr, following her Roc Nation management deal, a supporting slot on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour, and her charting collaboration with Wizkid on "Gimme Dat".

Musically, "Hot Body" is characterized by a percussion-driven groove, layered synths, and a sultry vocal delivery. Critics described the single as a celebration of bodily freedom and agency, with Billboard calling it a steamy slow-wine groove and The Native noting how Starr projects "relaxed certitude" while turning youthful swagger into "sensual elegance." Its accompanying music video, directed by Claire Bishara, was filmed in Los Angeles and features Starr leading an all-female dance crew in yacht and beach settings, evoking imagery from late 1990s and early 2000s R&B videos.

The single received widespread acclaim from African and international music outlets for its production and Starr's vocal performance, with further highlight by Rolling Stone as one of the Afropop releases shaping the summer of 2025. Publication HotNewHipHop praised Starr's self-confidence and rich-girl flexes, and Le Monde Afrique described the song as a "concentrate of sensuality."
