Right from the Heart is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on March 18, 1985, by Columbia Records and was his first album without songs that were previously recorded by other artists. The title track is one of the album's four ballads that, along with four of the remaining six up-tempo tracks, delve into the subject of relationships, but it's the synth-driven "Step by Step" and the anthemic "Hold On" on which Mathis takes a break from the usual focus on love songs. The former offers the hope that can be found in change that comes gradually until "I can see the way free from yesterday to a new beginning." The latter stresses the importance of being oneself: "Life is a party. Why don't you come the way you are?"
