"Heart Over Mind" is the third album by American singer Jennifer Rush.

With her first two albums being recorded in Germany and Rush experiencing much success in Europe, she decided to relocate to the US for her next album. Working with writers and producers such as Harold Faltermeyer and Michael Bolton, this album would go on to be one of the most successful of Rush's career.

Released in early 1987, the first single was the European hit "I Come Undone". However it was the second single release which the record company were more excited about - "Flames of Paradise", a duet with Elton John. The song became Rush's first top 40 success in the US as well as a hit in Europe, although smaller than expected in the UK, after predictions of it reaching No.1.
