"Hey Mister Heartache" is a 1988 song by English singer Kim Wilde, released as the first single from her album Close. Although a minor hit in Wilde's native UK, it was a top 20 entry throughout Europe.
"Hey Mister Heartache" featured vocals by Junior Giscombe, with whom Wilde had duetted on the Another Step (Closer to You) hit the previous year). However, this part of the song was edited down for the single version. The song was also extended for the 12" and CD-single formats, and a second 12" featuring the "Kilo Watt Remix" by Timmy Regisford was also released in the UK.
