We’re just like you, except we’re hot,” the viral internet video “Hot Problems” has garnered almost 2 million views in less than a week and is being criticized by some bloggers as the worst song ever — drawing comparisons to the viral song and video “Friday” by Rebecca Black.

“Hot Problems” was written and performed by Drew Garrett and Lauren Willey, two 17-year-old high school seniors from northern Los Angeles. “We wanted something funny to show our friends. We really didn’t mean anything from it,” said Willey.

“We knew that we couldn’t actually sing…so we decided to go for more of a talking singing,” said Garrett.

Both Garrett and Willey emphasize that they aren’t serious about the song, “We don’t think that we’re that hot, no.”

As for a future in music, the girls have plans to attend college in the fall.  Garrett wants to major in animal science and Willey plans to major in international business.  Even so, they’re open to a career as songwriters and hinted at plans to write another song.
