'Hots On for Nowhere' is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin released in 1976 on their album Presence.

Overview

The basic structure of this song can be traced to rehearsal sessions for Led Zeppelin's sixth album, Physical Graffiti, as well as the 1975-era live versions of the song 'Dazed and Confused'.[1] One of the interludes (first heard at around 0:38) can also be heard in 'Walter's Walk', as well as the snippets of the song included in certain extended live versions of 'Dazed and Confused'.

The lyrics were written by Robert Plant about his frustrations with his situation.[2] Page used a lake placid blue 1960 Fender Stratocaster for the recording of this song, as can be heard from his use of this guitar's tremolo arm.[3]
