Music video

[edit]

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."[1]
