"Heaven Is" is a 1993 single by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their 1992 multi-platinum album Adrenalize. The single reached number 13 in the UK.[citation needed]

In a statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection and Best of Def Leppard compilation albums, the band's lead singer Joe Elliott described the song's backing vocals on the chorus sounded much like The Beach Boys, and said that it was the first time Def Leppard went that far. He also described the song as being "More Queen than Queen".[citation needed] Lead guitarist Phil Collen said that this song had been around for years and that parts of it were taken from the song "Armageddon It".[citation needed]

According to a Joe Elliott statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, Best of Def Leppard and Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980-1995) compilation albums, he hated the music video.
