"The Heart Gently Weeps" is the first single from the 2007 album 8 Diagrams by the Wu-Tang Clan. The song features an interpolation of The Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", played by John Frusciante formerly of Red Hot Chili Peppers on lead guitar and Dhani Harrison on rhythm guitar. The vocals are sung by R&B singer Erykah Badu. This song was made using a cover version of the George Harrison song played by the blues guitarist Jimmy Ponder.

Out of respect for George Harrison, RZA, who produced this song, asked Harrison's son Dhani to play rhythm guitar. It was played using a mint condition Gretsch guitar from 1961 which was given to RZA as a gift from Russell Crowe after they had finished filming American Gangster.

The song was #50 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.
