Composition
"Heartbeat" is a pop song composed in F-sharp minor. It is written in common time and moves at 128 beats per minute. The song uses a i-VI-iv-v chord progression. There is a key change in the chorus that puts the song in B minor before going back to F-sharp minor for the subsequent verse. Its lyrics narrate a night of going to clubs with friends. "Heartbeat" uses a drum beat which symbolizes a heartbeat and doubles its tempo when Annie's persona catches the attention of her romantic interest on the dancefloor.
