"The Heart Gently Weeps" is a hip hop song written by the Wu-Tang Clan. The song features an interpolation of the Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", played by John Frusciante of The Red Hot Chili Peppers on lead guitar and Dhani Harrison on rhythm guitar. The vocals are done by R&B singer Erykah Badu. This song was made using a cover version of the George Harrison song played by the blues guitarist Jimmy Ponder. It is the official first single of Wu-Tang Clan's fifth studio album 8 Diagrams, and was #50 on "Rolling Stone"'s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. [No byline (December 11, 2007).

Out of respect for George Harrison, RZA, who produced this song, asked Harrison's son Dhani to play rhythm guitar. It was played using a mint condition Gretsch guitar from 1961 which was given to RZA as a gift from Russell Crowe after they had finished filming American Gangster.
