I should know

that you’re not good for me.

’Cause you’re hot then you’re cold; you’re yes then you’re no; you’re in then you’re out; you’re up then you’re down.

You’re wrong when it’s right; it’s black and it’s white; we fight, we break up; we kiss, we make up.

You’re hot then you’re cold; you’re yes then you’re no; you’re in then you’re out; you’re up and you’re down.

Used to laugh

The backing track is in G at 132 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Hot N Cold"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Hot N Cold", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Hot N Cold" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.

Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
