"Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)" is a 1981 song by Ottawan. It was the band's second-biggest international hit single, after their 1979 hit "D.I.S.C.O.".

The song reached the Top 5 across Europe and became a number one for eight consecutive weeks in New Zealand.[2] It was not released in North America until 1991 as a remix.

There was a French version, called Haut les mains (donne moi ton cœur), whose translation is nearly the same as the English title.[3]
