"How Can I Refuse?" is a song recorded by the rock band Heart. It was released in 1983 as the first single from the band's seventh studio album Passionworks. The song is an uptempo power-pop tune which lyrically addresses the strong feelings of infatuation at the beginning of a romantic relationship.

"How Can I Refuse?" nearly became a top-forty hit, peaking at number forty-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It did, however, manage to hit number one on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and was their last song to do so.
