In this playful and upbeat song, 'Because You're Hot', sung by Mark, a charming yet questionable Head of PR at Curtain Call Productions, the focus is on Rena, a plus-size beauty who has recently captured the attention of those around her. Under a whimsical enchantment, Mark finds himself irresistibly drawn to Rena, now envisioning her as a glamorous supermodel. With catchy melodies reminiscent of 'Moving Too Fast' from 'The Last Five Years', the song highlights the sometimes shallow world of PR while celebrating the newfound beauty seen in Rena. As Mark expresses his newfound attraction, he confidently proclaims that she will become the centerpiece of their PR efforts simply because, well, she's hot.
Verse 1:
Oh Rena, you caught my eye today,
Suddenly you're shining, in a brand new way.
Those curves, they’ve got me in a trance,
Your spotlight’s blazing, let’s take a chance.
Chorus:
Because you’re hot, baby, you’re the talk of the town,
Got the world spinning round, I'll never back down.
In the game of glam, you’re my queen,
Together we’ll show them, you’re the hottest they’ve seen.
Verse 2:
Forget all the standards, they don’t apply,
You’re breaking the mold, and oh my, oh my!
I see the confidence lighting up your face,
C’mon Rena, let’s own this place.
Chorus:
Because you’re hot, darling, igniting the scene,
The way that you move, it’s like a dream.
In the art of persuasion, we’ll write the script,
You’ve got that magic, no need to eclipse.
Bridge:
Forget what they said, let’s rewrite the play,
With every glance, you’ll take my breath away.
Hot like a comet, you light up the night,
Together we’ll shine, let’s reach new heights.
Chorus:
Because you’re hot, let’s bring down the curtains,
With every moment, my heart is certain.
In this crazy world, you’re my silver screen,
Step into the limelight, you’re the star in between.
Outro:
So here’s to us, you and me tonight,
Under the spotlight, everything feels right.
With a wink and a smile, let’s give it a shot,
Oh Rena, baby, it’s because you’re hot!

The song is called "Because You're Hot". It has a similar sound to "Moving Too Fast" from the musical, The Last Five Years (sung by Jeremy Jordan). This song is sung by Mark, an attractive but sleazy Head of PR at a musical theater production company called Curtain Call Productions. Mark is singing this song to Rena, who is a client. Rena is a beautiful plus size woman, but Mark did not find her attractive because of her weight. However, Rena has made a wish that people would see her as beautiful, and so now people, including Mark, are under an enchantment where they see Rena as their version of beautiful. To Mark, that means Rena looks like a very thin supermodel. In this song, Mark is hitting on Rena and telling her that they are going to focus PR on her because she's hot.
