"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" was the first single from Stevie Nicks' debut solo album Bella Donna. The album's only song that was neither written nor co-written by Nicks, it was written by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell as a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song, but Jimmy Iovine, who was also working for Stevie Nicks at the time, arranged for her to sing on it. Petty sang with Nicks in the chorus and bridge, whilst his entire band played on the song.
A performance of the song in the studio was used as the promotional video.
The song reached #3 on the American Billboard Hot 100. This song was not successful in Europe, where it reached only #50 in Britain.
The two singers also duetted on the songs "Insider" and "I Will Run to You", and frequently performed impromptu live versions of these and 1960s classic "Needles and Pins" in many shows throughout the 1980s.
