"Hot to Go!" is a song by American singer and songwriter Chappell Roan, from her debut studio album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023). It was released through Island Records and Amusement Records on August 11, 2023, as the ninth single from the album. Written by Roan and Daniel Nigro, "Hot to Go!" is a synth-pop track. Described as a queer cheer song similar to the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.", it was inspired by Roan's childhood dream of wanting to become a cheerleader.

The song enjoyed acclaim amidst its release for its musical composition and its story, which describes a woman wishing to have sex with another woman of interest. It was seen by some as norm-defying within the mainstream music industry. "Hot to Go!" drew commercial success months after its release, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Hot to Go!" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the top 20 of the charts in New Zealand, and the top 30 of the charts in Australia and Canada.
