1 year ago, Ayra Starr released the music video for “Hot Body.”

Ragee and the Elements produced 'Hot Body,' with Ayra Starr co-writing the track alongside Promise Ekpe, first releasing the song itself on July 25, 2025, before director Claire Bishara's accompanying music video followed roughly six weeks later. The single arrived on the heels of Starr's earlier 2025 collaboration with Wizkid, 'Gimme Dat,' continuing a run of confident, sensual releases that quickly positioned the track among the season's biggest contenders for song of the summer.

Lyrically, the song leans fully into self-assurance and physical allure, with Starr owning her command over rhythm and desire from the opening verse through its now-viral chorus line about what a hot body can do. The video itself, filmed on a beach and boat, matched that energy visually, showing Starr and a group of dancers in summer styling, delivering choreography that soon spread into a widespread TikTok dance challenge, with groups like K-pop's LE SSERAFIM among those joining in.

Blending Pop R&B, Afrosoul, and Afrobeats, the track built on Starr's already fast-rising global profile, following a run that had already made her the youngest African female artist to top 100 million YouTube views with 'Rush' and the youngest Nigerian artist ever nominated for a Grammy. 'Hot Body' further cemented her as one of Afrobeats' most consistent global crossover hitmakers heading into the back half of 2025.
