"Si demain... (Turn Around)" with Kareen Antonn, a no. 1 hit in France in 2004, was included on the album as a bonus track having never been released in the UK before.
A new track called "Under One Sky", written by Paul D. Fitzgerald, was planned for inclusion on From the Heart: Greatest Hits and was expected as a single. However, it was cut from the track list and later appeared on Best of 3 CD (2011).
Critical reception
From the Heart: Greatest Hits received a mixed review from Sharon Mawer of AllMusic, who complained that Bonnie Tyler compilation albums were being released too frequently, and described songs like "In My Life" and "Si demain... (Turn Around)" as "filler".
