"You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" is a song written and recorded by Rod Stewart for his 1977 album Foot Loose & Fancy Free. The song became a hit, reaching the top ten of many countries, including the United States (number 4), United Kingdom (number 3), Canada (number 2), and Australia, peaking at number 1 for one week.[2][3]

The lyrics mention two of Stewart's favourite football teams in the phrase "Celtic, United".[4] The inner sleeve to the album Foot Loose & Fancy Free also pictures artwork with the names Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United drifting out of a car stereo.

Reception

[edit]

Billboard declared that "You're in My Heart" should become "Stewart's biggest easy listening hit" and felt the vocal style was similar to "The Killing of Georgie".[5] Record World said that "it's slow, introspective, the story of a relationship many should recognize."[6]
