"The Heart of Me" is a song by Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow from their third studio album, iii (2016). Written and produced by the band, the song was initially issued as a buzz single on 19 February 2016, in anticipation of the album's release. Atlantic subsequently sent it to alternative radio in the United States on 15 November 2016, as the fourth and final single off the album. Musically, "The Heart of Me" is a synth-laden chillwave song with indie rock elements and emotional lyrics. It features background vocals by English singer Charli XCX. "The Heart of Me" received generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom complimented its upbeat production.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You took the yellow diamond spears and turned it on its head
And everybody wants to turn up, give it to them
Sharp through tension, sharp through tension
You've put a lasso on the scene
Feeds and pages, feeds and pages
Look away and take the backdoor to

The heart of me
Because I can't believe
That anything's cool anymore

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I want to touch you, I want you to touch me
I can't stop this hurtful shit from happening
You and I, we've been through it
And this is no time wave
Dip into the lake, the mountains shake the fear of God 

Into the heart of me
Because I can't believe
That anything's cool anymore

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I remember standing in a cathedral
Somewhere in Northern Europe, I think it was Paradiso
The space around my head was ringing
And I felt like I finally touched this world
I felt as if I finally understood
That we have to build something of our own now
Even if I didn't know it at the time
I choose to the heart of me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Because I can't believe (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
To the heart of me (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Because I can't believe (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
