The song was written by Calvin Harris,Young Thug,Pharrell Williams,and Brittany Hazzard. [2] 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 Williams in 2012,but when Williams released the song with 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. [3]
