"In My Arms" is a synth pop ballad by British duo Erasure. The song was released as the lead single from the their eighth studio album "Cowboy". It was issued by Mute Records in the UK and by Maverick Records in the U.S. "In My Arms" was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.

The album version of "In My Arms" was released as the single version in both the UK and the U.S. although the lead synthesizer melody performed during the song's middle eight section was removed for the American version. The single peaked at number thirteen on the UK singles chart and stalled at number seventy-six in Germany — Erasure's lowest-charting single in that country up to that point. In the United States, "In My Arms" became Erasure's first Billboard Hot 100 entry since 1994's "Always", peaking at number fifty-five. Its remix was a big hit in dance clubs, peaking at number two on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Little Jimmy Urine of Mindless Self Indulgence appeared in the U.S. version of the video.

The cover for the U.S. single release was used as an example in the book "The 7 Essentials of Graphic Design" by Allison Goodman.
