"Church of Your Heart" was the fifth and final single taken from Swedish pop duo Roxette's third studio album, Joyride (1991). Written by Per Gessle, the song was a hit in Canada, where it peaked at number eleven. "I Call Your Name" – originally released as a single from their 1986 debut album Pearls of Passion – appeared as the b-side. On UK editions of the single, the song was backed by an exclusive megamix. This consisted of a medley of "It Must Have Been Love", "Listen to Your Heart", "The Look", "Joyride" and "Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)".

Music video

The music video for "Church of Your Heart" was filmed at a church in Sydney, Australia. It was directed by Wayne Isham, who also directed the video for previous single "Spending My Time", as well as one for another song from Joyride—"(Do You Get) Excited?", which was due to be released as the album's sixth single. Its planned single release was later cancelled, however.[1]
