"Heaven" is the debut single by South Korean singer Ailee for her extended play Invitation (2012). Recorded in two languages (Korean and Japanese), the Korean version premiered as the lead single from the EP through YMC Entertainment on February 9, 2012, while the Japanese standalone CD single was released on November 6, 2013, via Warner Music Japan. An R&B, soul and dance number, the track was written and produced by Wheesung with additional songwriting contributions from Iggy and Seo Yong-bae.

Following its release, "Heaven" experienced commercial success in South Korea, peaking at number three on both the Gaon Digital Chart and Billboard K-pop Hot 100 chart. It garnered over 3,220,000 digital downloads in the country during 2012, and was the sixth most-downloaded single of the year.[1] In contrast to its success in South Korea, however, "Heaven" performed rather moderately in Japan. The single peaked at number 24 on the Oricon Singles Chart and sold just over 4,000 physical copies in the country.
