Tropico is American rock singer Pat Benatar's sixth album, released in 1984. It peaked at #14 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced the Top-10 hit "We Belong". Additional well-known songs from the album were "Painted Desert", "Outlaw Blues" and "Ooh Ooh Song" (also a Top-40 hit), a Spanish version of which appeared on her 1999 compilation, Synchronistic Wanderings. The album went on to sell more than a million copies.

During the filming of the video for the single "Painted Desert", Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo discovered they were expecting their first child.^{[citation needed]}

It is also said by Benatar and Giraldo that this album is the first where they moved away from Benatar's famed "hard rock" sound and start experimenting with new, sometimes "gentler," styles and sounds.
