"Heart over Mind" is a 1987 song recorded by American singer Jennifer Rush for her album of the same name. It was released as the third and final single from the album and achieved top 30 chart positions in Austria, West Germany and Switzerland.

Background

"Heart over Mind" was written by Taylor Rhodes and Tom Deluca, and produced by Harold Faltermeyer, who also produced the songs "Search the Sky" and "Love of a Stranger" from the same album.[1]

The song was released as the third single from the album in September 1987 in West Germany and Switzerland and in November 1987 in Austria. It was the album's second single in the United States following "Flames of Paradise". It was not released in the United Kingdom due to the poor performance of the first two singles in the country.[citation needed]

"Heart over Mind" was re-recorded by Jennifer Rush with the Hungarian National Philharmonic for her 1998 album Classics.[2]
