"Use Your Heart" is a song by American R&B trio SWV, released on July 23, 1996 as the second single from their album, New Beginning (1996).[1] Written by Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams, and produced by The Neptunes, the song contains a sample of "If It Don't Turn You On (You Oughta Leave It Alone)", performed by B.T. Express, and became the first song produced by the duo to chart.
The video for "Use Your Heart" was directed by Michael Martin.
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as an "sumtuous old-school soul swinger that will have listeners lost in memories of their favorite '70s moments." He added, "These sisters now have the chops to support their bid to become R&B's leading female vocal group. They kick it lovely while Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo surround their plush harmonies with fluttering horns and even-handed funk guitar licks. Yummy stuff that belongs at the top of every urban playlist."[2]
