"Heartbreaker" is a studio album by Dolly Parton, released on August 12 1978. Released following the huge pop crossover success of "Here You Come Again", "Heartbreaker" was designed as an even more direct aim at the pop charts, with several of its songs verging on disco. The title song, a ballad written by Carole Bayer Sager, topped the U.S. country charts, and became Parton's third top-forty pop hit, while the follow-up single was the double-A-sided "Baby I'm Burnin'"/"I Really Got the Feeling", with "Baby I'm Burnin'" targeted for pop airplay, and "I Really Got the Feeling" for country. The formula (which had previously worked for "Here You Come Again"'s double-A-sided "Two Doors Down"/"It's All Wrong, but It's All Right") was successful again, with the single reaching #1 on the country charts, and #25 on the pop charts.

The album cover, depicting Parton in a series of surreal, dream-like images, was designed by graphic artist Ed Caraeff, who'd also designed the cover art for "Here You Come Again".
