XYVRL Sings About One-Sided Relationships in “HOTNCOLD”
XYVRL has officially released her latest single “HOTNCOLD” on June 27, 2025. This marks her second release of the year, following the success of her previous track, “LILAGIRL.”
Story behind the Song
“HOTNCOLD” is a chill, pop, soul, and RnB track that talks about the struggles of an unfair relationship. The song addresses the feelings of giving your all to a partner who does not reciprocate, and XYVRL’s lyrics convey this sentiment clearly: “You don’t deserve me. Binigay ko sa’yo ang lahat when you were thirsty. I was there for you pero baby wala ka for me. So tell me sino ba ang totoo sa atin?”
The title “HOTNCOLD” effectively captures the conflicting emotions of warmth and closeness with your partner, while still having a cold, distant divide in the relationship. While the song has a laidback and easy-to-listen-to vibe, the lyrics carry a heavier message that encourages listeners to immerse themselves in the deeper meaning behind the music. “Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi. Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi.”
Stream HOTNCOLD
In a surprise appearance, XYVRL performed “HOTNCOLD” at the “Find Your Kislap” single launch event of fellow Universal Records artist last June 26 at 225 Bar in Quezon City. Fans who witnessed XYVRL’s performance of the song didn’t have to wait too long to hear the official track since since it was released the next day. “HOTNCOLD” is now available on all major streaming platforms, with an interesting lyric video on the YouTube account of Universal Records.
