Spread and reception

On April 17, 2012, the "Hot Problems" music video was featured on several news sites, and received negative reviews.[3][4] The song has been called "the worst song ever",[5] with some YouTubers claiming that the song is worse than Rebecca Black's "Friday".[6]

Willey and Garrett's responses

On ABC News, Willey and Garrett claimed that "[they] don't think that [they]'re that hot", contrary to the lyrics in their song, and that they are "open" to a career as songwriters.[6] The teens stated that they made the song because they wanted something funny to show to their friends and didn't mean it seriously. "We knew that we couldn't actually sing, so we decided to go for more of a talking singing," Garrett told the media outlet.[7]
