"Bless Your Heart" is a song made famous by country music singer Freddie Hart. Originally released in 1972, the song became his third No. 1 song that summer and was the title track to Hart's 1972 album.

Country music writer Tom Roland wrote that the homonymy of Hart's last name ("Hart" and "heart") and the use of a common phrase ("bless your heart") in the lyrics provided the basis for the song [Roland, Tom, "The Billboard Book of Number One Country Hits" (Billboard Books, Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1991 (ISBN 0-82-307553-2)), p. 62-63] , which is about a man who - despite his failings and feelings of unworthiness - expresses deep gratitude that his wife still loves him.

As the song grew in popularity, wrote Roland, Hart's fans "began saying it more and more in conjunction with (Hart) on stage." [ibid.]
