Greta Van Fleet singer Josh Kiska described the lyrics as having a theme of "different cultures and civilizations inside of this world searching for some kind of salvation or enlightenment." Grateful Web describes the song as "Theatrical, eloquent, and exaggerated. This is a dream in the clouds, a moment of peace in the storm. Thematically, we are dead center in the cult of Heaven, surreal, strange, alive and free.”

Release and reception 
The song was released as a single on digital media in February 2021. 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." Personnel
