"Heaven Knows" is a song by American rock band The Pretty Reckless from their second studio album, Going to Hell (2014). It was released on November 19, 2013 as the album's second single. The song was written by Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips, while Kato Khandwala was responsible for the production. "Heaven Knows" is the band's first single to top a Billboard chart (Mainstream Rock) and the second single to top UK Rock Singles Chart, following their debut single "Make Me Wanna Die" (2010). The song later entered the Alternative Songs chart, peaking at number 20.

Following the end of their worldwide tour The Medicine Tour in 2012, the band began working on their second studio album. They were recording at Water Music Recording Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey, when the studio was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. They lost a lot of equipment and recordings of songs meant for the album. After that, they had to re-record a lot of songs they had been working on at the time.Interscope Records released "Kill Me" to digital retailers on December 2, 2012; it would serve as the album's lead single. However, a conflict with the record company, mostly because of the poor performance of "Kill Me" on charts and sales, caused The Pretty Reckless to end their deal with Interscope, and on September 24, 2013, it was announced the band had signed on with the label Razor & Tie.

"Heaven Knows" premiered on November 19, 2013 on Sirius XM's Octane, and on the same day, it was released as the album's second single to digital retailers.
