By the Numbers
Heart of Stone is a Diane Warren album as much as a Cher album. Warren wrote or co-wrote the bulk of it, including 'If I Could Turn Back Time,' while Desmond Child and Michael Bolton supply the rest. Cher's name is absent from every writing credit; her role is the voice that turned Warren's songs into hits, the interpreter at the center of someone else's pen.
Heart of Stone is the nineteenth solo studio album by Cher, released in 1989 and the commercial peak of her Geffen rock era. Diane Warren anchors the writing, supplying or co-writing several tracks including the signature single 'If I Could Turn Back Time,' alongside Desmond Child and Michael Bolton. Produced by a team that included Child, Bolton, and Peter Asher, the album went multi-platinum and produced three top-twenty hits. As with the rest of her catalog, Cher sings rather than writes: she holds no writing credit on the record.
