"Listen to Your Heart" was the third single issued in the United States from Swedish duo Roxette's 1988 album Look Sharp!. It was written by Per Gessle and Mats M.P. Persson. It reached number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in November 1989; it was their second chart-topper of the year.

The song was covered by D.H.T. in 2005 and peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100 in August of that year.

The Roxette version of this song was featured on the show Reunion in 2005.

On a historical note, Listen to Your Heart was used by the dissident political party Civic Forum in its television advertisements for the 1989 Czechoslovakian elections, one of the pivotal moments of the collapse of communism.

In 2005, Belgian dance group D.H.T.'s trance-cover of "Listen to Your Heart" became a worldwide club hit. Originally released in Belgium in 2003, the various mixes of the song reached U.S. clubs in late 2004. By the mid-summer of 2005, the song reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 8 in August.
