The song was written by Calvin Harris,Young Thug,Pharrell Williams, andBrittany Hazzard.^[2] InitiallyRobin Hannibal andCecilie Karshøj of Danish duoQuadron were not credited as co-writers. According to Karshøj, Quadron wrote the demo version of "Heatstroke" with Pharrell Williams in 2012, but when Pharrell Williams released the song with Calvin Harris in March 2017, Hannibal and Karshøj were uncredited as co-writers. Karshøj alleges that she has a video recording of herself recording the demo vocals for "Heatstroke", which were later re-recorded byAriana Grande. Karshøj has said that the duo receives 15 percent of the song's royalties.^[3]

Musically, "Heatstroke" combineship-hop anddance music.^[4]news.com.au described the song as a "sun-kisseddisco funk delight."^[5]
