"Heat" is a song by American singer Chris Brown featuring American rapper Gunna. It was released digitally on June 20, 2019, as a promotional single from Brown's ninth studio album, Indigo (2019).[2] "Heat" was then released as the album's fifth official single on August 27, 2019.[3]

"Heat" is an R&B and trap song with lyrics mixing themes of luxury and lust. The song peaked at number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and topped the Rhythmic Airplay chart, unseating Brown's previous single, "No Guidance", at the top spot.[4] The song was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The music video for "Heat" was released on August 30, 2019, and was directed by Brown and Edgar Esteves. The video features Brown and Gunna as retail associates at a high-end clothing designer's shop, and was praised for its visuals and choreographies.

Background and release

"Heat" was unexpectedly teased one day before its release on Chris Brown's Instagram account. The song was released on June 20, 2019, as a promotional single from Brown's ninth studio album, Indigo,[2] and then sent to mainstream urban radio as the album's fifth single on August 27, 2019.[3]

Composition

"Heat" is a mid-tempo R&B song,[5][3][6] produced by American record producer Buddah Bless.[7] The song's lyrical content mixes themes of luxury and lust, combining high-fashion and sex appeal.[8] Brown makes use of the lingo "drip", which is a term to describe good-looking outfits.[9] Its instrumental was described as "a sleek, minimalist beat characterized by its steady bassline, shimmering synths, and crisp percussion", while the artists’ provide "smooth vocal delivery" suggesting "a laid-back yet seductive vibe".[6] "Heat"'s musicality blends the stylistic of R&B music with strong trap influences.[10] The chorus speaks to a female character and reveals her and Brown’s sexual intentions.[11]

Critical reception

Urban Islandz commended both artists' performances on the track, stating "Chris Brown as usual graces the beat with smooth vocals and impeccable melodic runs. Gunna‘s performance did not disappoint either as he gave us the perfect second verse to complement Breezy’s flow and storyline."[11] P.M. News called it a "captivating" track.[12] Billboard described "Heat" as a "four-minute braggadocious ballad".[13] Vibe praised Gunna's "hard-hitting yet fluent lyrics".[14]

Music video

The image shows Brown dancing in a display case, while several girls are motionless observing him.

The music video for "Heat" was released on August 30, 2019, and was directed by Brown and Edgar Esteves. The music video features Brown and Gunna as retail associates at a high-end clothing designer's shop called ‘Indigo’, where an eager line of women are clamoring to shop for clothes.[8] Brown and Gunna assist them with apparel, ending up in a sexual situation, alternating scenes where Brown and his dancing crew are executing complex choreographies.[15][11][8][16] According to The List, the "sentiments of lust and luxury are amplified in the video, with its stark color palette of mostly black, white, and silver, with blazes of hot pink and red".[8] The video's choreography features some Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma dance moves.[17][18]

Critical reception

Billboard commented that "Brown’s typically fluid choreography juxtaposes the perfectly lined up silhouette of the ladies, a visual reminiscent of a Kanye West fashion show".[13] The List commented that "The clean lines, and bright lights evoke fashion week as much as a car show, especially when the women are all dressed up and standing in a grid that Brown and Gunna move through, admiring the display.[8] Urban Islandz praised Brown's acting in the video, and its "incredible choreography".[11] Rated R&B described the video as "cinematic", and complimented the "slick dance moves"[19] The Source said that Brown in the video "is seen perfectly coiffed dressed to the nines as he stepped right out of GQ".[18] Rap-Up called it a "stylish" video, praising Brown's footwork.[20]
