"Listen to Your Heart" is the title of a Billboard Hot 100 number one hit song recorded by Swedish pop duo Roxette. The power ballad was released in September 1988 in Sweden as a single from their album Look Sharp!, and was written by Per Gessle and Mats M.P. Persson. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on November 4, 1989, their second chart-topper of the year. They rose to #1 the same week the dominant New Kids on the Block rose to number two with their song "Cover Girl", thus preventing the group from taking the top spot. The song was released in the UK in October 1989 and reached a lowly number 62, but was re-issued in August 1990 as a double A-side with "Dangerous" after the success of their previous single "It Must Have Been Love", and reached number six.

Famous quotes containing the words listen to, listen and/or heart:
“So, laying his cheek against the dresser’s wooden one,
He died making up stories, the ones
Not every child wanted to listen to.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Alas,
For the tireless heart within the little
Lady with rod that made them rise
From their noon apple-dreams, and scuttle
Goose-fashion under the skies!”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
