Jupiters Darling is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on June 22, 2004, by Sovereign Artists. Sovereign Artist's marketing director, Paul Angles, simultaneously released their album via file sharing networks,[8] which were included in an amicus curiae brief to the US Supreme Court.[9] Two promotional singles were released simultaneously with the album: "The Oldest Story in the World", which peaked at number 22 on Billboard's Heritage Rock chart,[10] and "The Perfect Goodbye".[11] Heart performed "The Perfect Goodbye" with country singer Wynonna Judd on CMT Crossroads on July 9, 2004.[12]

This album continued the move back to Heart's hard rock and folk rock roots. It peaked at number 94 on the US Billboard 200.

The album cover bears an image of the Mandelbrot set, rotated so the main cardioid is oriented the same way a heart would normally be, with the cusp at top. The album cover art is seen briefly in the 2005 film Elizabethtown, for which Nancy Wilson provided soundtrack music; at the time she was married to the film's director and screenwriter, Cameron Crowe.
