"Amado Mio" is a song from the classic 1946 film noir Gilda, written by Doris Fisher and Allan Roberts. The piece was lip-synched by Rita Hayworth and sung by Anita Kert Ellis.
Grace Jones's rendition of the song on her 1989 album Bulletproof Heart served as its second and the last single, released in 1990. A special "Brazilian Mix" of "Amado Mio" was produced to promote the single, which was later available on the 2004 CD re-issue of Bulletproof Heart. The song charted low on European charts, despite being promoted live on various occasions. In the US, the single was a double A-side with "Crack Attack", and became a significant dance hit.
