Content

From the Heart: Greatest Hits contains seventeen tracks spanning Tyler's entire career from the release of "Lost in France" (1976) to her most recent single at the time, "Louise". The album opens with Tyler's most notable songs, and later includes tracks that were not singles, such as "Streets of Little Italy" from Hide Your Heart (1988) and "In My Life" from Heart Strings (2003). The compilation concludes with Tyler's 2003 single "Si demain... (Turn Around)", a French version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with Kareen Antonn that became a major hit in France. The singles had not been released in the UK until this compilation was produced.
