Background
Bassist Calum Hood stated in an interview with radio host Angus O'Loughiln: "The title is really misleading because the song is about people not caring of what others think, it's a revolution for outcasts. It has a deep meaning." But due to their popularity their fans may not be considered as outcasts as there are millions of them. Lead guitarist Michael Clifford stated, "The song is heavy as hell, heavier than our previous songs. We were shocked but happy with the reviews."
Composition
"She's Kinda Hot" is composed in the key of E major with a tempo of 116–120 beats per minute.
