"Heat Above" is a song by American rock band Greta Van Fleet. It is the third single from the album The Battle at Garden's Gate. The song reached number three on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.[1]
Josh Kiszka, the band's singer, said he first wrote the lyrics for this song in 2015 before finalizing them five years later. The song became the bridge between the band's first and second albums.[2] The song was recorded during The Battle at Garden's Gate sessions in 2019.[3] The song's debut occurred on February 10 on the Zane Lowe Show.[4] [5] On February 18, the band released a music video for the song.[6] [7]
The song was released as a single on digital media in February 2021.[8] The song was met with mostly positive reviews, including a review from Consequence Sound, which said "The song’s positive vibe paired with the typically triumphant delivery of Greta Van Fleet make “Heat Above” particularly grandiose. Vocalist Josh Kiszka continues to hit the high notes with ease, and the band sounds as confident as ever, building a soaring crescendo."[9]
