"Tell It To My Heart" is a song recorded by dance-pop vocalist Taylor Dayne, released as her first single from her debut album of the same name in late 1987.

Digitally remastered (by me :0) for optimum Sound- & Picture-Quality.

The single was Dayne's first major exposure, and she soon became known for her up-tempo, dance-oriented music.

The song was written by Seth Swirsky and Ernie Gold. A Chappell Music staff songwriter, Swirsky almost didn't deliver the song to his publisher after he and his girlfriend decided they didn't think it was good enough. Swirsky also wrote (along with Arnie Roman), Dayne's follow-up single "Prove Your Love".

When the song was originally mastered, Arista Records sent a copy to Seth Swirsky who thought that having four bars before the bridge was too short. He called Arista President Clive Davis to have him add an additional four bars to allow the bridge to breathe, which Davis did, scraping the mastering.

The song took off so unexpectedly in the fall of 1987, that Taylor was forced to make the rest of her debut album in six weeks. For almost two months, people could only buy the 12-inch record of "Tell It to My Heart" with four mixes of the song on it. That 12-inch sold 900,000 copies alone.

Dayne was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal, Female for her performance on "Tell It to My Heart" in 1988.
