Two of Hearts (song)
"Two of Hearts" is a song recorded by American singer Stacey Q. First released in 1985 by On The Spot Records, the song was later taken by Atlantic Records and was released as the lead single from her debut studio album ''Better Than Heaven'' (1986), on January 4, 1986. Written by John Mitchell, Tim Greene and Sue Gatlin, "Two of Hearts" was originally intended for Gatlin, who recorded and released her version of the song the following year. The production of the song was done by Jon St. James, who brought the song to Swain and wanted her to record it. At first, she refused to record a song written by someone else, but later changed her mind. The original version appears on her self-titled EP.
Musically, "Two of Hearts" is a dance-pop with elements of freestyle and Hi-NRG music. It utilizes vocal sampling with the repetitive usage of the line "I Need You" in its hook. The lyrics of the song revolve around love and romance. "Two of Hearts" received positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. It peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and became one of the highest-selling singles of 1986. "Two of Hearts" was ranked number twenty-seven in VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s.
The accompanying music video was directed by Peter Lippman. It depicts Swain dancing in front of a white background in various outfits and performing at a night club. "Two of Hearts" has been covered by a number of artists and has appeared in feature films such as ''Nowhere'', ''Little Nicky'', ''Party Monster'' and ''Hot Rod'' (where it was done to punchdance).
