About Heart Is Full

"Heart Is Full" is a song recorded by Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow for their third studio album, iii (2016). Written by the band alongside Vincent Pontare, the song contains elements from Marlena Shaw's 1967 recording of "Waiting for Charlie to Come Home", penned by Bob Hilliard and Burt Bacharach. "Heart Is Full" is an electropop and hip hop song with instrumentation provided by drums, horn and Wurlitzer electric piano. Described by the band as different from their other work, the song was selected as the album's lead single as vocalist Andrew Wyatt deemed it a "jarring reintroduction" following the band's three-year break. The single was released on 30 October 2015 through Jackalope and Atlantic. "Heart Is Full" received mixed reviews from critics; some applauded the use of the sample combined with the hip hop beat, while others felt it was uninspired as a whole. The single became the band's first entry on the American Hot Rock Songs chart, peaking at number 41. Elsewhere, it managed to chart at number 194 in France. The accompanying music video was directed by Lance Drake and pays homage to several works of science fiction. An official remix of "Heart Is Full" featuring American rap duo Run the Jewels was released on 20 November 2015.

Woah hungry arms
Woah the hungry arms
Give me all the love

Girl, you say you want it
And I have no trips about it
And these played-out faces around me
Want you to know where they go
But they ain't got nothing on you
To say I'd open your mouth for me
I've got you locked down like police
And no three-to-five, you're doing life, so

Please don't knock over my heart
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you
I don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
These noisy voices, phony
They say I'm not really for you
'Cause I slept around before you
And I had fun, but now I am done
So put your arms around me
And I'll put away the snowflakes
And you'll be my only, only
And no three-to-five, you're doing life, so

Please don't knock over my heart
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you
I don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you

Ah, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woah hungry arms
Woah, the hungry arms
Give me all the love
After a while I fanned the fire
Then I knew that you were wild
I think that the time is now
I think that the time is now, so

Please don't knock over my heart
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you
I don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause my heart is full of you
Yeah, my heart is full of you

Ah, ooh ooh ooh ooh
