"When Did You Get Hot?" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from her seventh studio album Man's Best Friend (2025). She wrote it with Amy Allen, Jack Antonoff, and John Ryan and produced it with Antonoff and Ryan. The song was serviced to radio in New Zealand on October 3, 2025."When Did You Get Hot?" is a sexually charged song that celebrates the unexpected discovery of attraction to a former acquaintance previously overlooked. It's a playful, slightly steamy track where Sabrina Carpenter marvels at a guy's transformation from forgettable and awkward to distractingly magnetic. There have been more than a few romantic comedies with the same plot. Carpenter addresses a character named "Devin," though this is almost certainly a matter of rhyme and rhythm (it sort-of rhymes with "direction") rather than a real-life reference. Some have speculated about basketball star Devin Booker, but Carpenter has no known connection to him, and it seems far likelier that the name is just a convenient lyrical placeholder. Placed eighth on her 2025 album Man's Best Friend, the track follows the breakup-heavy run of "Nobody's Son" and "Never Getting Laid," serving as a pivot toward new romantic possibilities. Co-written with Amy Allen, Jack Antonoff, and John Ryan (with the latter two also joining Carpenter on production), the song leans into an R&B groove that feels both funky and breezy, reminiscent of the warm textures on Short n' Sweet's "Good Graces." Carpenter told Apple Music's Zane Lowe that the song only came together after she and her collaborators experimented with multiple versions - the kind of happy accident that wouldn't have happened without time to play around in the studio. Despite its flirty subject matter, "When Did You Get Hot?" is one of the few tracks on Man's Best Friend not labeled explicit.

So long, untouched
Bone dry, not a plant can grow
'Bout time I get
Back on the horse to the rodeo

Now I'm at the prospect convention
My friends walk in your friends direction
Said, "Sabrina, don't you know Devin?"
And I was like, "Huh"

When did you get hot?
All the sudden I could look you up and down all day (Hey)
When did you get hot?
I think I would remember if you had that face (That face)
I did a double take, triple take
Take me to naked Twister back at your place
Baby, baby, mm, it's thickening the plot
When did you get hot?

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh

Congratulations on your new improvements
I bet your light rod's like bigger than Zeus' (Hey, wait)
Can you lift my car with your hand?
You were an ugly kid, but you're a sexy man!

Sorry, I did not see the vision
Thank the Lord the fine you has risen
Big riff coming, I need a minute
Wait, I need a minute
Ehmm, okay
Here it comes

When did you get hot?
All the sudden I could look you up and down all day (All day)
When did you get hot?
I think I would remember if you had that face (That face)
I did a double take, triple take
Take me to naked Twister back at your place
Baby, baby, mm, it's thickening the plot
When did you get hot?

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh

When did you get? When did you get?
When did you get? When did you get so hot?
When did you get? When did you get?
When did you get? When did you get so hot?
When did you get? When did you get?
When did you get? When did you get so hot?
When did you get? When did you get?
