"Restless Heart" is a song by US singer Peter Cetera, written by Cetera and Andy Hill and released from the album World Falling Down in 1992. "Restless Heart" was Cetera's final of five number-one hits on the US Adult Contemporary chart, spending two weeks at the top. It was also his final top-forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 35.
Upon its release as a single, Billboard said the song is "... an engaging and rhythmic tune that is easily the toughest-sounding track we’ve heard from [Cetera] in years. Song has a sing-along chorus that will sound quite nice on soft top 40 and AC stations."[2]
Cetera received ASCAP honors for "Restless Heart" as a "most-performed song" in the society's 1994 pop awards.[3]
The music video for the song was added to VH1 rotation in early August, 1992.[4]

In popular culture[edit]
In 2010, Cetera and "Restless Heart" were featured in a television commercial for Heineken Premium Light beer in which an older man instructs a younger man that "if you love the ladies, by default you love Cetera."[6][7][8]
"Restless Heart" was part of the soundtrack of the 2022 Hulu horror movie, Fresh. Movie critics were struck by its ironic use during a particularly dark scene.[9][10][11][12]
