The song is a mid-tempo R&B song, produced by American record producer Buddah Bless,[3] with instrumentation and melodic lines that blend the classic R&B style with strong trap influences.[4]

"Heat" debuted at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, on the week of September 14, 2019.[5] After climbing the chart for ten weeks, the song eventually peaked at number 36 on the chart.[6] "Heat" also topped the US Rhythmic Airplay chart. This became Brown's 11th number one on the chart, and his second during 2019, having previously logged four non-consecutive weeks in the top spot in 2019 with "No Guidance".[7] "Heat" moved Brown up to fourth-equal on the list of artists with most number-one songs on the chart.[7] This also became Gunna's first number one on the chart.[7]
