During the song, Jay-Z touches on subjects of religious allegory and an interrogation of organized religion. The song has since peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
Background
On "Heaven", Jay-Z questions the meaning of religion and once again shoots down rumors that he is part of the secret organization Illuminati. He explained the song in a promotional video for Samsung saying,
The song indulges in religious allegory, and is one of the few songs on Magna Carta Holy Grail that touch upon existential and spiritual themes. Throughout the song he ponders faith, superstition and free thinking.
The songs features Jay-Z rapping a lyric of rock band, R.E.M.'s 1991 single "Losing My Religion". Following the album's release, former frontman of R.E.M. Michael Stipe told NME that he's "thrilled" and it was a "great honor", that Jay-Z included the lyrics in one of his songs.
Heaven (Los Lonely Boys song)

AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek describes the song as "infectious" and draws comparisons to the music of Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Los Lobos.

Keep Me Hangin' On
by: Heaven SentSet me free why don't you babe
Get out of my life why don't you babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me yeah
Chorus
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
oh no
and there's nothing i can do about it
Chorus
Why, why you keep me holding on
I, i, i keep on moving on
don't try to keep you holding on
You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And that you've got your freedom back
You wanna still hold on to me
Why don't you be a man about it and set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
