"Soft Touch" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. It was also issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, "Blow Away", in Britain and some other countries, while in markets such as North America, it was the B-side of the second single, "Love Comes to Everyone". Harrison wrote the song while in the Virgin Islands with his future wife, Olivia Arias, shortly before recording his 1976 album Thirty Three & ⅓. The song is a love song in which Harrison also conveys his wonder at the idyllic island setting.
Harrison recorded "Soft Touch" in 1978 at his home studio, FPSHOT, in Oxfordshire. The track includes synthesizer contributions from Steve Winwood and was co-produced by Harrison and Russ Titelman.
