"Hole in My Heart" is a song by Danish pop band Alphabeat from The Beat Is... (2010), the international edition of their second studio album, The Spell (2009). It was released on 21 February 2010 as the album's second single in the United Kingdom and third single overall. "Hole in My Heart" peaked at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's second consecutive UK top-40 hit from The Beat Is...

Critical reception[edit]

Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy gave "Hole in My Heart" four out of five stars, stating the song "takes off where 'The Spell' ended with a healthy serving of euphoric piano riffage and synth wooshes. Here the dual vocals of Anders SG and Stine Bramsen twist around the sort of hypnotic beat that will send you back to the big-fish-little-fish warehouse raves of 1991. Although it doesn't pack quite the same instant sugar rush as their debut album's bubblegum pop, 'Hole' is actually a more nourishing, enduring treat. It deserves far better than a nonchalant shrug from music fans—it should be gobbled up."[1]
