"Peace" (also known as "Peace (In the Valley)") is a song by American singer Sabrina Johnston, released in the United States through ATCO Records in August 1991. It was released as the first single from her debut studio album, Peace (1992). The single reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart and entered the top 30 in Australia, Ireland, Italy and Sweden. It was written and produced by Johnston with help from her husband Ken Johnston. She told in a 1991 interview, that she wrote the song during the Gulf War. "I wanted to create something positive", she said. In 1992, Johnston appeared on the Red Hot Organization's dance compilation album, Red Hot + Dance, contributing a new remix of "Peace", the Nu-Mix, to raise awareness and money in support of the AIDS epidemic. Richard Heslop directed its accompanying music video.
The song caught the attention of English rock band the Rolling Stones, who asked her to audition for their tour. However, they lost out to JBR Records and EastWest when she was signed for her second album. New remixes of the track were released in 2009.
