“It’s a Heartache” is a country rock song that was recorded separately by Bonnie Tyler and Juice Newton in 1977. Tyler’s version charted in the UK in November 1977, Newton’s charted in Mexico in 1977, and both versions charted in the United States in 1978. The song was also recorded by Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes in 1978, but it was not a hit. Authorship is credited to Ronnie Scott & Steve Wolfe, who became Tyler’s managers, songwriters, and producers when they saw her in Wales in 1976.
