PHIL COLLINS - YOU’LL BE IN MY HEART 

Released: June 15, 1999

Charts: UK: #17   US: #21 

“You’ll Be in My Heart” is a song by Phil Collins from Disney’s 1999 animated film Tarzan. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, marking Collins’ first Oscar win after previous nominations for “Against All Odds” and “Two Hearts”.

The song conveys a message of comfort and eternal connection, fitting both the film’s mother-son relationship and broader close bonds. Collins’ daughter, Lily Collins, revealed that he originally wrote it as a lullaby for her.

In Tarzan, Glenn Close (as Tarzan’s adoptive gorilla mother) sings the intro before Collins takes over. He also wrote four other songs for the film.

The music video, directed by Kevin Godley, features Collins in various settings using 1999 compositing technology but does not include scenes from the movie.
