O My Heart (Stylised as "O My ♡") is the second album by Vancouver-based indie rock band Mother Mother, released in 2008. Videos for the songs "O My Heart", "Body of Years", and "Hayloft" were released. In late 2020, "Hayloft", "Arms Tonite", "Wrecking Ball" and “Burning Pile” went viral on the video-sharing app TikTok.[6]

"Hayloft II", a sequel to "Hayloft", was released on the deluxe edition of the band's 2021 album Inside.[7] The album at one point included a bonus track called “Heart Heavy” which was originally only available via purchase of the whole album on ITunes.
