Heartbeat City is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Cars, released on March 13, 1984, by Elektra Records. The band produced the album with Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
This marks the band's first album not produced by long-time producer Roy Thomas Baker. It also represented a return to the success of the band's self-titled debut album, with critic Robert Christgau noting that "the glossy approach the Cars invented has made this the best year for pure pop in damn near twenty years, and it's only fair that they should return so confidently to form." Numerous tracks from the album received airplay on modern rock and AOR stations, with the singles "Drive" and "You Might Think" reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, while the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200.

BAD COMPANY являются одной из первых супергрупп мира: Роджерс и Кёрк прославились во FREE, Ральфс - в MOTT THE HOOPLE, а Баррел - в KING CRIMSON. Поэтому не случайно, что музыканты с самого начала карьеры оказались под опекой Питера Гранта, менеджера LED ZEPPELIN. Уже дебютный альбом BAD COMPANY попал в британский Топ-3, и до конца 70-х группа пользовалась стабильной популярностью у слушателей. Стиль BAD COMPANY представлял собой упрощенный вариант LED ZEPPELIN, т.е. блюзовый хард-рок с ярко выраженной мелодичной поп-составляющей.

Two singles were released worldwide from Honky Château, "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat." A third single, "Hercules", was prepared for release, but this never materialised.
