"You're My Heart, You're My Soul" is a song by German pop duo Modern Talking, released as the lead single from their debut studio album, The 1st Album (1985). The single was released in September 1984 and entered the West German top 10 on 28 January 1985. It took another five weeks for the single to top the chart, spending six weeks at the summit and 25 weeks within the top 100, eventually reaching gold status for shipping over 500,000 units domestically. "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" is considered their best-selling single to date with worldwide sales said to exceed eight million copies.[4]

The single was remixed in 1998 as "You're My Heart, You're My Soul '98" for the duo's reunion. The single in a newer package gained a similar success again, earning them a platinum-award for selling over 500,000 units in Germany alone.
