Storm in the Heartland is the third album from country music artist Billy Ray Cyrus. Released in 1994 on Mercury Records, it produced the singles "Storm in the Heartland", "Deja Blue", and "One Last Thrill", the first two of which entered the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. The album itself was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies.

"Only God (Could Stop Me Loving You)" was recorded in 1999 by Lari White as a duet with Toby Keith on White's album Stepping Stone, and again in 2002 by the Canadian country band Emerson Drive on their self-titled album. Emerson Drive's rendition was released as a single in 2003.
