Cold Hearted often mistitled Cold Hearted Snake) by Paula Abdul is featured in Feud, the sixteenth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Santana with female NYADA students as back-up dancers and singers.
As Brody teaches a class as the T.A. in Dance 101 at NYADA, Santana enters the room, watching the gigolo in front of her. When Brody tells the girls off, Santana shouts a remark to Brody's surprise. Before the performance, Santana warns Brody that she is a hardcore friend of Rachel and Kurt and, therefore, Brody should move out tonight because she knows who he really is. Asking the girls of the class for back-up, Santana sings the song, performing on a set-up of bars and poles, similar to the original video by the original artist. As the performance progresses, Santana sings the lyrics directly at Brody who sits down, watching her. Santana is able to pull off an impressive performance, but Brody isn't impressed at all, being told to 'pack his bags' as Santana leaves because she knows what he does as a job and will tell Rachel, but this feud makes Rachel and Kurt kick Santana out of their apartment.
