Heart Don't Lie is the third album released by singer La Toya Jackson. It is her most successful album to date, and the most critically acclaimed (together with her 1980 self-titled debut). The album includes a cover version of Prince's "Private Joy" and features a plethora of musical guests, including Shalamar's Howard Hewett and reggae-pop group Musical Youth on the title track, musicians from Kool & the Gang on several tracks throughout the album, and collaborations with her siblings, inlcuding Marlon, Janet, and Tito, who co-produced the track "Frustration".

Jackson and Amir Bayyan, the producer of the album, wrote the song "Reggae Nights" for this album, which was not released on Heart Don't Lie but ended up being a Grammy-winning single for Jimmy Cliff. She recorded the song herself for her 1991 album No Relations.
