"Heatstroke" is a song by Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris featuring American rapper Young Thug, American musician Pharrell Williams, and American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It is the second single from Harris' fifth studio album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (2017). It was released on 31 March 2017 through Sony Music, following "Slide".[1]
The song was written by Calvin Harris, Robin Hannibal, Cecilie Karshøj, Young Thug, Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande and Starrah.[2] Initially Hannibal and Karshøj of the Danish duo Quadron were not credited as co-writers. According to Karshøj, Quadron wrote the demo version of "Heatstroke" with Williams in 2012, but when Williams released the song with Harris in March 2017, Hannibal and Karshøj were not listed as co-writers. Karshøj has a video recording of herself recording the demo vocals for "Heatstroke", which were later re-recorded by Ariana Grande. Karshøj has said that the duo receives 15 percent of the song's royalties.[3]
Musically, "Heatstroke" combines hip-hop and dance music.[4] news.com.au described the song as a "sun-kissed disco funk delight."[5]
