Which Kanye West album includes the single "Heartless"?

Kanye West’s “Heartless” appears on his fourth studio album, *808s & Heartbreak*. Released in 2008, the album marked a major shift toward electronic production, Auto-Tuned singing, and emotionally direct themes of isolation and heartbreak.

“Heartless” was written by West, No I.D., Kid Cudi, and Malik Yusef, with production by West and No I.D. The song was initially considered for Jay-Z’s *The Blueprint 3* before West decided it belonged on *808s & Heartbreak*. It became the album’s second single and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

The title can cause confusion because “Heartless” is also the name of the song itself, while the album title references both Roland TR-808 drum machines and the record’s emotional subject matter. The other options—*Late Registration*, *Yeezus*, and *Graduation*—are all Kanye West albums, but none contains the original “Heartless” recording.
