Songfacts®:

• Not a remake of Taylor Dayne's 1987 dance classic, this "Tell It To My Heart" is a collaboration between Italian production trio Meduza and Irish singer-songwriter Hozier.
• While Dayne's song is about passion and feeling, Hozier sings about a cold lover. When the Irish singer pulls her close, she holds back, and he's worried her love for him is fading. He beseeches her to open up what she's thinking and "tell it to my heart."
• Meduza's deep house music and Hozier's fiery gravely voice is an unexpected combination. However, the song bridges the gap between the artist's signature sounds. "We always try to make our records [feel] different, collaborating with people outside of our comfort zone to make something unique and amazing," Meduza's Mattia Vitale told Apple Music. "We love to make our music sound big, atmospheric and epic, and his vocal really enhances the breakdown. Then the energy explodes with the drop."
• The collaboration isn't a complete surprise. Back in 2020, Meduza released the single " Paradise" with another Irish singer-songwriter, Dermot Kennedy, on vocals.
