About This Track

A Dork five-star record, 'RENAISSANCE' finds Beyoncé returning to pop on her own terms: an immersive homage to dance and club culture sequenced like one long DJ set. 'HEATED', the eleventh track, is a pulsing afrobeats cut that channels the album's looser, more playful spirit. Beyoncé raps about luxury brands and impatience, fanning herself off as the temperature rises, her delivery confident and petty in equal measure.

The production thrums with the physical intensity that defines the album, body music filtered through Beyoncé's unique prism. She adopts a voice that is funny, uplifting, and distinctly weird at turns, the track embodying the carefree energy that runs through the record. The song originally contained an ableist slur that drew criticism and was subsequently updated, mirroring a similar correction made by Lizzo.

'HEATED' sits within an album that pays homage to the lineage of black female and queer dance culture, a crystallisation of references that emerge as 'RENAISSANCE' progresses. It is pop music as a statement of history and celebration, Beyoncé loose and exuberant, making the greatest DJ set from the greatest pop star of the modern age.

"HEATED" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album RENAISSANCE, released 28th July 2022. The track is 4:21 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Beyoncé.

Lyrics

HEATED

Got a lot of bands, got a lot of Hermès on me

Got a lot of bands, got a lot of Ivy on me
I gotta fan myself off, I gotta fan myself off
I gotta cool down (heated)
I gotta cool it down (heated), yeah, yeah

It's been a lot of years, you really think you're getting one past me?
I gotta fan myself off, I gotta fan myself off
I gotta cool it down (heated), oh
You got me (heated), heated, oh

Never met a girl with a mind like this, no, no
To give you space at a time like this, my love
Never met a girl so fine like this, no, no, no, no, no
With a waist that whine like this, my love

Only a real one could tame me
Only the radio could play me
Oh, now you wish I was complacent
Boy, you must have mixed up our faces
Oh, now you wanna have conversations?
See how you testing my patience
Yeah, yeah

Got a lot of bands, got a lot of Chanel on me
I gotta fan myself off, I gotta fan myself off
I gotta cool down (heated)
I gotta cool it down (heated)

Got a lot of style, got a lot of Tiffany on me
I gotta fan myself off, I gotta fan myself off
I gotta cool it down (heated)
You got me (heated) heated, oh

Whole lotta reservations, whole lotta
Whole lotta texting with no conversations
Whole lotta playing victim and a villain at the same time
Whole lotta, yeah, money, not a lot of patience
Whole lotta n- been waiting

They want some time on it, now I wanna flaunt it
Panty and a bra, we can get involved, boy
You keep playing with my heart, boy
I'm just as petty as you are
Only a real man can tame me
Only the radio could play me
Only my baby

Got a lot of bands, got a lot of Chanel on me
I gotta fan myself off, I gotta fan myself off
I gotta cool down (heated)
I gotta cool it down (heated) heated

Never met a girl with a mind like this, no, no
To give you space in a time like this, my love
Never met a girl so fine like this, no, no, no, no, no
With a waist that whine like this, ooh

Tip, tip, tip on hardwood floors
Ten, ten, ten across the board (with a waist that whine like it)
Give me face, face, face, face, face, yah
Your face card never declines, my God (ooh, ooh)
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Mmh, yummy, yummy, yum, make that bummy heated
Make a pretty girl talk that tishy
Whisky 'til I'm tipsy, glitter on my kitty

Cool it down, down, down, my pretty
Bad, bad gitchy, make the bad-bad glitchy
Fine, fine, fi-fine, fi-fine, fine, fine
Liberated, living like we ain't got time
Yada, yada, yah, yada, yada, yah-yah
Yada, yada, bom-bom, kah-kah
Blastin' on that, blast on that a-
Fan me quick, girl, I need my glass

Fan me off, my wrist goes "click"
Dimples on my hip, stretch marks on my -
Drinking my water, minding my biz
Monday I'm overrated, Tuesday on my -
Flip-flop, flippy, flip-flop-flop b-
Fan me off, watch my wrist go "click"

Fan me off, I'm hot, hot, hot
Like stolen Chanel, lock me up in jail
Cuff me, please, 'cause this ain't fair
Dripped in my pearls like Coco Chanel
Uncle Johnny made my dress
That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess

Fan me off, I'm hot, hot, hot
Like stolen Chanel, lock me up in jail
Fingertips go tap, tap, tap
On my MPC, making disco trap

Uncle Johnny made my dress
That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess

    We’ve all agreed that Beyoncé can do whatever she wants by now, right? Over the course of a flawless 30-year career, she’s been a member of one of the most influential pop groups of all time before releasing a run of boundary-pushing solo albums alongside game-changing live performances. She’s more than earnt the right for complete creative freedom and she repeatedly does things her own way tonight at the first of five sold-out stadium shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
