"Heartbeat" is the title of a 1995 song by Scottish pop singer-songwriter Jimmy Somerville, formerly the lead vocalist of the bands Bronski Beat and Communards.

Released as a single from his second solo album Dare to Love (1995), "Heartbeat" peaked at #24 on the UK singles chart in February of that year.[1] The song also topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play for one week in April 1995, becoming Somerville's first (and, to date, only) solo #1 on that chart.[2]

Backing vocals on the song are performed by Shawn Christopher and Yvonne Gage, both of whom are noted dance music singers in their own rights.
