Unchain My Heart is the eleventh studio album by Joe Cocker, released in 1987. It consists of many cover songs and Cocker did not write any of the lyrics for it.

Miller Lite used Joe Cocker's "Unchain My Heart" for their Dalmatian campaign as the dog jumps from the Budweiser Clydesdale horse-drawn carriage to the Miller Lite truck.
