Heated (Beyoncé song)

It is the eleventh track on her seventh studio album, Renaissance (2022), which was released on July 29, 2022, through Parkwood and Columbia.

[1] Pitchfork writer Julianne Escobedo Shepherd described the song as an "a pulsing afrobeats track".

[2] Michaelangelo Matos of The New York Times described as a "neo-dancehall form over a slinky, wood-block-heavy groove".

[6][7] The song was considered a tribute to "Uncle" Jonny, who helped raise her until his death during the AIDS epidemic.

[10] The song was met with criticism online for its use of the word "spaz" in its lyrics, which disability advocates said is an ableist slur.
