Tropico is American rock singer Pat Benatar's sixth album, released in 1984. It peaked at #14 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced hits like We Belong. Additional well-known songs from the album were Painted Desert, Outlaw Blues, and The Ooh Ooh Song, a Spanish version of which appeared on her 1999 compilation, Synchronistic Wanderings. It went on to sell over 1,000,000 copies.

During the filming of the video for single Painted Desert, Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo discovered they were going to have their first child.

It is also said by Benatar and Giraldo that this album is the first where they move away from Benatar's famed "hard rock" sound and start experimenting with new, sometimes "gentler", styles and sounds.
