"Almost Paradise... Love Theme from Footloose" is the title of a duet sung by Mike Reno of Loverboy and Ann Wilson of Heart. It is one of several major hits written by singer Eric Carmen with lyricist Dean Pitchford, another being "Make Me Lose Control".

Because both of their respective bands were successful during the 1980s, Reno and Wilson were approached to record a duet for the film Footloose.
