"When The Heartache Is Over" is a song by American recording artist Tina Turner. Written by Graham Stack and John Reid for her album Twenty Four Seven (1999), it was released as the album's leading single in mid-to late 1999.

Release

It was a considerable hit both on the pop and dance charts, reaching the top ten in Finland and the United Kingdom, while peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the U.S. The CD singles released included remixes of "When The Heartache Is Over" by among others the Metro team, 7th District Inc. and Hex Hector. Certain European CD singles also included two live recordings from Turner's 1996 Wildest Dreams Tour, "I Can't Stand the Rain" and "On Silent Wings".

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Produced by Brian Rawling and Mark Taylor, the team that catapulted Cher back to fame via "Believe" (and more recently, commandeered Enrique Iglesias' "Bailamos" and new "Rhythm Divine"), this number has similar energy, with a bright-eyed dance beat and production so tight and joyful that listeners will be pulled in by the first chorus and singing along by the last. (...) Lyrically, Turner sings of the joy of liberation from a love gone bad—once the heartache has passed. It's a positive message that will bring in a new generation of pop listeners, while allowing adults to crack a smile and tap a toe to the worldwide return of one of contemporary music's greatest achievers and most-cherished performers."[1]

Music video

The music video, which was filmed by British director Paul Boyd, features Turner dancing on a giant "T" with other dancers around her on the ground. The video was choreographed by Tina Landon. The background is black with a big screen that has flashing colours on it.
