"Heaven" is the second single off John Legend's sophomore album, Once Again.
The song's music video, featuring women posed as various Renaissance era paintings, was shot at Highclere Castle in the UK and was directed by Hype Williams.
The song samples Monk Higgins' "Heaven Only Knows".
The remix of the song, released to the iTunes Store on February 6, features Pusha T of the Clipse. The special EP also features the acapella version of the remix, the album version and the instrumental of "Heaven".
"Heaven" was the second consecutive John Legend song that was released as a download only single in the UK. Chart rules at the time stated that if no physical format was available, a single would not be able to chart. This is why "Heaven" became John Legend's second single in a row unable to chart in the UK.
Legend was awarded a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance on this song.
