Captain of Her Heart was a hit single for the Swiss band Double in 1986. The song was released on their album Blue and became an instant success. The song is a very easy-going, jazzy style ballad with a reappearing piano, a smooth baritone voice, a soprano saxophone and a steady drum beat. The song's lyrics speak about a girl who is having a tough time sleeping waiting for her true love or "The Captain of Her Heart" to arrive. The song was written in 1985 by both Felix Haug and Kurt Maloo two years before the band's disbandment.
The song accurately portrays the band's jazz-rock or fusion style and is reminiscent of the golden days of the fusion genre in the 1970's with bands like Steely Dan.
