"Hand on Heart" is a song by English singer-songwriter Olly Murs for his third studio album Right Place Right Time (2012). The song was released as the fifth single from the album, although released to promote the 2013 re-release.

Music video

[edit]

A music video for the song was released on 4 November 2013.[1] Inspired by the video to Robbie Williams' hit single "Angels", it was shot in black-and-white and directed by Vaughan Arnell, who shot the original video to "Angels".[2]

Williams, who made a cameo appearance in the video, commented, "Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I am easily flattered, and I love Olly. We always have a good time together and this was no exception."[3]
