Following the viral breakout success of “Hope It’s Hot Out,” Platinum-certified songwriter, producer, and artist Kyle Clark returns with “HOT OUT,” a high-energy remix created alongside dance producer Deerock, available now. The track made its live debut during Deerock’s set at Stagecoach Festival, giving fans an early taste of its festival-ready energy.
Originally released in 2025, “Hope It’s Hot Out” quickly became a defining moment in Clark’s growing catalog, generating more than 50 million streams and inspiring over 75,000 TikTok creations. With “HOT OUT,” he expands the song’s reach by fusing his coastal-country songwriting with explosive EDM production, tapping into the continued crossover between country music and dance culture.
Built around pulsing beats, shimmering synth work, and a massive drop, the remix transforms Clark’s laid-back vocal style into something designed equally for festival stages and club systems. While the original captured an easygoing summer atmosphere, “HOT OUT” amplifies that spirit into a high-impact anthem built for peak-season playlists and late-night crowds alike.
Clark explains, “The original was all about that easy, summer mindset. ‘HOT OUT’ takes that same feeling and turns it into something you can hear on a stage or in a club. Working with Deerock brought a completely new energy to it.”
Deerock adds, “It’s never about changing the song, it’s about giving it somewhere new to live, and this one with Kyle felt like the perfect record to push that country x EDM crossover forward. I’m hyped for people to feel this on the dance floor.”
The release arrives as Clark continues rolling out his upcoming album, Better On A Boat, due May 22. The 10-track project leans heavily into his coastal-country perspective, balancing feel-good production with reflective songwriting. Produced and mixed by Clark and mastered by Sam Moses, the album further develops the sound that has fueled his recent momentum.
“Better On A Boat represents the mindset and way of living I naturally gravitate toward,” Clark shares. “It’s about life on the water, slowing things down, being present, and finding joy in the simple moments. The boat has always been a place where everything feels clear to me. Life’s just better.”
Already an established name within Nashville’s songwriting scene, Clark co-wrote “Let Him In Anyway,” the current country radio single from Blake Shelton, and previously earned RIAA Platinum certification for “Villain” by Lily Rose. His songwriting credits also include cuts for HARDY, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, Mitchell Tenpenny, Restless Road, Mackenzie Carpenter, Erin Kinsey, and Chayce Beckham.
Born in Honolulu and raised in Jefferson, Kyle Clark continues to blend island influence with Southern roots, shaping a sound that feels equally suited for country radio, beachside speakers, and dancefloor crossovers.
