Heaven by Warrant Song Info
Heaven is a song by American glam metal/hard rock band Warrant. It was released in July 1989 as the second single from Warrant's debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. The song was Warrant's most commercially successful single, spending two weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 (kept from the top spot Milli Vanilli's Girl I'm Gonna Miss You), and reaching number one in Rolling Stone, and number three on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The track's commercial success has led it to becoming one of the best known songs by the band. "Heaven" took Warrant's record company by surprise. Indeed, once the widespread appeal of the song became apparent, the band were instructed to re-record the track to lend it a "bigger radio sound". The first 250,000 copies of the record featured the original version while later pressings featured a new version. The song had previously been recorded by Jani Lane and Steven Sweet's old band Plain Jane.
