The song marks the group's comeback after about eight months since their previous release.
"HOT SAUCE" is a recreation of old-school hip-hop music in the 1980s, with witty lyrics when comparing the group's confident attitude to the spicy flavor of food.
The song highlights Baby Monster's bright charm, dynamic rap style and fresh voice that captivate listeners.
The performance also stands out with the choreography breathing life into the lyrics through visual and eye-catching movements. The group's stage performance was designed impressively and brought a joyful, energetic feeling.
The music video was released along with the single focusing on enhancing musical and performing elements. With colorful graphic design and flexible camera movements, the melody of the song is optimistic.
According to YG Entertainment, the members have put a lot of effort into this release despite the tight tour schedule. The company said that "HOT SAUCE" is aimed at helping fans enjoy a cool and refreshing summer.
Baby Monster is expected to release their second song in September, followed by their highly anticipated mini album in October.
After the song was released, many audiences had positive feedback about the group's new product.
