"Heartbeat City" is a song by American rock band the Cars from their fifth studio album of the same name (1984).

It was released in September 1985 as the album's sixth and final single.

Original US pressings of the LP and cassette versions listed the title of "Heartbeat City" as "Jacki".

[2] Donald A. Guarisco, also of AllMusic, characterized the track as "a memorable effort in [the] vein [of 'atmospheric moodpieces'], a hypnotic bit of new wave that mixed impressionistic lyrics with an entrancing electronic soundscape."

He concluded, "The result was probably a little too esoteric to be a hit but it got some exposure as the B-side to 'You Might Think' and provide[d] a fittingly arty finale for the Heartbeat City album.
