Rhythm Of Your ♥ was a single released on Mayte’s website mayte.com beginning in October 2007.
The Rhythm Of Your ♥ was originally planned to be released in 1996 as the third commercial single to promote Mayte’s first and only album Child Of The Sun (where the song was known as The Rhythm Of Your Heart), after The Most Beautiful Boy In The World and If  Love U 2night, both of which preceded the album. All plans to promote the album were abandoned, however, when Prince/ and Mayte married in February 1996.
The idea of releasing The Rhythm Of Your ♥ as a single was revived with the manufacturing of the CD single in 1998, presumably to accompany the release of Scorpio, an enhanced reissue of Child Of The Sun they started to work on. Prince delivered to Mayte a stock of CD’s to be distributed to radio stations while she was in their house in Marbella, Spain sometimes in 1998. All the plans were dropped when they stopped to work on Scorpio.
Mayte had kept the stock of CDs after their divorce and decided to put them on sale almost 10 years later. She did attend a show on the Per4ming Live 3121 residency in Las Vegas, NV, USA, and it is possible that as a result of discussions there, Prince allowed her to release the single.
No album was listed on the single’s artwork, however, and the single’s inner sleeve contains advertisements for the New Power Generation’s Newpower Soul, Chaka Khan’s Come 2 My House and Graham Central Station’s GCS 2000. The b-side, In Your Gracious Name, was also taken from Child Of The Sun.
An extended remix of Rhythm Of Your ♥ (more likely the original full-length version) was included, featuring a rap by .
Confusingly, the single’s artwork listed an incorrect tracklist, with the second and third tracks switched on the tracklist.
The single received only a low-key release, and was not eligible for the charts.
