In an interview with Billboard, Brandon Hagen described “Heatwave” as being “kind of like a zombie rising in a small town and then just terrorizing the town,” which the song’s music video provides the imagery for.
[Verse 1]
I’m a heatwave
You’re a small town
Caught up in the fever of July
I’m a cold case
In the hot ground
Seed sown in the fever of your mind
[Chorus]
And oh
Forever
And I went on
Together
It’s a heatwave
[Verse 2]
I’m a bad case
You caught it right
Picked up on the whisper of the wind
It’s a madness
Louder at night
We plant everything we’ve got growing
[Chorus]
And oh
Forever
And I went on
Together
It’s a heatwave
