"Heaven Help My Heart" is a song originally recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Tina Arena. It was written in 1994 by Arena with David Tyson and Dean McTaggart and released as the third single from Arena's second album, Don't Ask (1994). The song reached number 22 in her native Australia, and was a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Arena performed the single on the British children's television series Fully Booked on 5 August 1995.[1] [2]
Paul Verna from Billboard viewed the song as a "perky number".[3] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Arena knows how to chain herself to radio. Bass guitar forms the stable base for a solid piece of FM pop rock. Walking exactly in the middle of the road, she takes the shortest way to your heart."[4] A reviewer from Music Week gave the song four out of five, adding, "Sony's regional radio pluggers will have plenty of takers for this soft rock follow-up to Chains, although it doesn't hit quite the same spot."[5]
