"Queen of Hearts" is a country-pop song written by Hank DeVito.
The song first appeared on Dave Edmunds's 1979 album Repeat When Necessary and the single reached #11 in the UK that year. Two years later, it was a #2 hit single in the United States for pop/country musician Juice Newton (held off from the top spot by the Diana Ross and Lionel Richie hit "Endless Love"). Newton's version sold more than half a million copies in the United States and was Top 10 in several other countries such as Canada and Australia. The song originally appeared on her 1981 album Juice. The song is also featured prominently in Oliver Stone's 1986 film Salvador. For her recording of "Queen of Hearts," Juice Newton earned a 1982 Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocalist in the Country category.
