Calvin Harris is a pragmatist, and that why he has crafted a technically perfect Song of the Summer contender.

We have a foolproof crew: Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande assemble to dispense polite, feel-good advice: "please let go and have a good time." Harris provides a groovy '70s beat. And then, to seal the deal, it's called "Heatstroke."

What human alive is not thinking about a backyard full of all their best friends, attractive acquaintances and ice cold beers?
