"Que mon cœur lâche" is a 1992 song recorded by the French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. The single was released on 23 November 1992 to promote Farmer's compilation album Dance Remixes. Farmer also recorded an English-language version of the track, entitled "My Soul Is Slashed" which was released in May 1993. Originally recorded as a charity single, the song deals with AIDS and caused some controversy as lyrics seem to encourage the rejection of condoms. Produced as a short film, the music video was directed by the French film director Luc Besson, and features Farmer as an angel sent to Earth by God. The song reached the top ten in France and Belgium.

In 1992, the pop singer Étienne Daho contacted several popular French recording artists to request their participation in the recording of a double album whose profits were to be donated to the fight against AIDS. Farmer, who had until then not participated in charitable causes, accepted, and she and her writing partner Laurent Boutonnat composed "Que mon cœur lâche". However the song was rejected as the lyrics were considered to be too ambiguous, seeming to advocate sexual intercourse without condoms. As a result, instead using "Que mon cœur lâche" for the charity album, Farmer re-recorded her 1988 song "Dernier Sourire" (which dealt with the death of a sick person) in an acoustic style. This track was used for the compilation album Urgence - 27 artistes pour la recherche contre le SIDA.

At the same time, Farmer and Boutonnat decided to release their first compilation album composed of remixes, Dance Remixes, in December 1992. To promote the album, the song "Que mon cœur lâche" was released as a single, airing on radio on 5 November 1992, although it aired for the first time four days before on M40, and released on 16 November. The single cover used a Marianne Rosenthiel's photograph originally made for the previous single "Beyond My Control" in which Farmer trains in a gym. Unlike most of Farmer's singles, there was no CD maxi for this single.
