"Allies" is a song recorded by the rock band Heart.[1] It was released in 1983 as the second and final single from the band's seventh studio album Passionworks. The song was written by Jonathan Cain, best known as a member of the rock band Journey.

"Allies" was the final single released by Heart on the Epic Records label. The band's relationship with the label was sour at the time, and they claim that Epic did not properly promote their past two albums. It peaked at number eighty-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and stands as Heart's lowest-charting U.S. single. The band rebounded two years later, finding their biggest success yet as they joined Capitol Records.
