BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
“Where Did Your Heart Go?” is a song written by American musicians David Was and Don Was. The song was first recorded and released by the writers’ disco-dance-rock ensemble Was (Not Was).
“Where Did Your Heart Go?” was covered by the British pop duo Wham! in June 1986 as one of the three B-sides to “The Edge of Heaven” in the UK, where it reached #1. The song was also released separately as Wham!’s final single in several territories most notably in the US where it peaked at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1986. It was produced and re-arranged by George Michael with engineering by Chris Porter. In common with most Wham! songs, Andrew Ridgeley’s contribution is notable by its absence, though he receives a co-writing credit for its b-side: “Wham Rap ’86”. “Where Did Your Heart Go?” was also included on the albums Music from the Edge of Heaven and The Final.
