Composition
The song was written by Calvin Harris, Young Thug, Pharrell Williams, and Brittany Hazzard.{{cite web|title=ISWC-Net|url=http://iswcnet.cisac.org|publisher=CISAC|access-date=25 January 2018}} Type "Cream" under Title and "Wiles" under "Creator's Name" to see the results. Initially Robin Hannibal and Cecilie Karshøj of Danish duo Quadron 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 by Ariana Grande. Karshøj has said that the duo receives 15 percent of the song's royalties.{{cite web|last1=Stolberg|first1=Kjartan F.|title=Pharrell Williams prøvede at snyde Quadron for royalties for Calvin Harris' 'Heatstroke' – indtil de opdagede det|url=http://soundvenue.com/musik/2018/01/pharrell-williams-proevede-at-snyde-quadron-for-royalties-for-calvin-harris-heatstroke-indtil-de-opdagede-det-293533|publisher=Soundvenue|access-date=25 January 2018|date=25 January 2018}}
