"Hand on Your Heart" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue from her second studio album, Enjoy Yourself (1989), and released as its lead single on 24 April 1989.

Much like her previous releases up to Let's Get to It (1991), the song was written and produced by English songwriting and record production trio Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW).

[2] Upon release, "Hand on Your Heart" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who deemed it a highlight from the album and praised it as a strong single.

Written in the key of B-flat major, SAW approached composition of "Hand on Your Heart" with excitement and enthusiasm following the success of Kylie.

The song is sung in the viewpoint of a girl whose boyfriend is trying to break up with her yet she does not believe their relationship is over; she insists that he puts his hand on his heart and tells her until he really means it.

[4] Digital Spy gave it a favourable review, highlighting it by saying "Put it this way... this piece is a wee bit late because it's hard to type while re-enacting the 'Hand On Your Heart' dance routine.

"[5] However, Tim Nicholson of Record Mirror ironically explained that SAW "have let Kylie loose on some Sinitta's material to show her how it should be done", which he considered a "confectionery perfection".

[6] The Abbey Road Sessions version was acclaimed by contemporary music commentators, who praised the instrumentation and Minogue's hushed vocals.

Tim Sendra from AllMusic said that "Stripping the songs down to their basics and then adding strings on top proves to be very effective, especially on "All the Lovers" or "Hand on Your Heart," and most of the new arrangements are imaginative and sometime inspired.

"[7] Nick Levine from BBC Music was very positive towards the reworked version of the song, writing that "Who knew Stock Aitken Waterman tunes like [Never Too Late] and [Hand On Your Heart] had such melancholy lurking under the production chintz?

On its third week it was replaced on the top of the chart by the UK Hillsborough disaster charity single "Ferry Cross the Mersey" by the Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden and Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

"Hand on Your Heart" was accompanied with colorful music video directed by Chris Langman and shot at Minogue's hometown in Melbourne in March 1989.

[2] According to Minogue's then boyfriend and label mate Jason Donovan, PWL Records was highly displeased with the video.
