"Heaven's What I Feel" is a song by Gloria Estefan, released as the first single from her eighth studio album "Gloria!".

ong History

The song is a beautiful ballad with a dance background. It was first offered to be recorded by Celine Dion but she turned it down. Gloria recorded it instead and included on her then upcoming album Gloria!. The song was released as the first official single from the album and was recorded in three languages: English, Spanish and French. The Spanish version titled "Corazón Prohibido" was released as a single in Spain, where it topped the charts. The French version titled "Amour Infini" was only available on the European, Canadian and British album edition as a bonus track. The song peaked at number twenty-seven in the U.S.

The B-side of the single was the famous "Gloria Hitmix" which hasn't been available in any other single issue until that time, one included two different versions of the single: "Radio Edit" and "Full Version", the other included the next songs: "I'm Not Giving You Up", "Reach", "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)", "Mi Tierra", "Live for Loving You", "Tres Deseos", "Everlasting Love" and "Turn the Beat Around".

The single received a massive promotion. Estefan first performed the song at the 1998 "VH1 Divas Live" where she received a standing ovation for her performance; she also performed at the Studio 54 in New York.

The song was included on the movie "Dance with Me" (starring Vanessa L. Williams and Chayanne) soundtrack. Since then, the song has appeared at many soundtracks as one of the "best songs from the movies".

The music video was filmed in a "space" style and shows Gloria flying around a lot of places. The video received the Alma Award for "Best Outstanding Video".

The song was nominated for the Grammy Music Award for "Best Dance Recording" but lost to Madonna's smash hit "Ray of Light".
