"Can You Feel My Heart" is a song by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. Written by vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia and keyboardist Jordan Fish, it was produced by Terry Date and featured on the band's 2013 fourth studio album Sempiternal. The song was also released as the fourth and final single from the album on 8 October 2013, reaching number five on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart.
"Can You Feel My Heart" was one of the first Bring Me the Horizon songs written with keyboardist Jordan Fish, prior to his official addition to the band in 2013. Speaking to Sugarscape.com, bassist Matt Kean recalled that "When we were writing this song it was the first time we kinda realised that Jordan ... was having a big impact on the writing", suggesting that it influenced the band's change in direction on the rest of Sempiternal. Vocalist Oliver Sykes confirmed this in a track-by-track feature with Metal Hammer, proclaiming that "This was the turning point; it was the first one that Jordan really got his teeth into, and obviously you can hear that because it’s very heavy on the electronica". The song's lyrics were written by Sykes, who has explained that it is "all about admittance, admitting you have a problem, and admitting something's wrong".
Writing for Music Feeds, Mike Hohnen described "Can You Feel My Heart" as a track which combines elements of electronic rock and hard rock. The song was released in October 2013 as the fourth and final single from Sempiternal, backed with remixes of the song by Enter Shikari (under their "Shikari Sound System" alias) and electronic producer Jakwob. It was later included as the closing track on the band's first live video album, Live at Wembley, released in 2015, and is also featured on their second, 2016's Live at the Royal Albert Hall. In June 2014, "Can You Feel My Heart" was featured on the soundtrack of the video game EA Sports UFC.
