"Heal the Pain" was a song written and performed by George Michael and released on Epic Records in 1991.

A contemplative, acoustic guitar-based love song, it was the fourth of five UK singles taken from the album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1.

The song entered the UK Singles Chart in February 1991 and peaked at #31. It followed a pattern of being slightly lower than its predecessor (the previous three singles had peaked at #6, #23 and #28). One more single from the album would continue the pattern, by not even breaking the threshold of the Top 40. "Soul Free", also taken from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, appeared as the B-side. For the 4th US single, Columbia Records used "Soul Free" as the A-side and "Cowboys And Angels" as the B-side, but the single did not chart.

The band Lemon Jelly have used an uncredited sample of the track on the B-side of their single "Rolled/Oats".

Michael appeared on the Chris Evans show on BBC Radio 2 on December 5, 2005, and announced that he had recorded the song with McCartney "last week" but did not know what he was going to do with it yet. The track was later added to the greatest hits collection Twenty Five.

In 2008, it was released as a single from the U.S. release of George Michael's greatest hits album Twenty Five.
