On referencing the creation of the track Bobby reflects, “Hot Box is going to pop off in parties and functions. It sounds amazing in the car. People are going to pre-party and cruise to it and play it when then are in the mood to have a good time. People are going to start understanding that my sound is what has generated a lot of what’s working on the radio. I’m excited to put out my new music. I was behind the scenes for a while now it’s time to get it poppin’ for myself.”
