Who recorded the 1993 hit song "Human Behavior"?

The story behind the answer

Björk recorded the 1993 hit song “Human Behaviour.” It was released as the lead single from her debut solo album, Debut, and became one of the defining tracks of her early international career.

The song was co-written and produced with Nellee Hooper, whose production blended Björk’s distinctive vocal style with electronic, dance-pop, and orchestral textures. Its lyrics examine people from an almost nonhuman perspective, treating human actions as strange, emotional, and unpredictable. Björk has described the song as reflecting an animal’s view of human nature.

The imaginative music video, directed by Michel Gondry, reinforced that idea with surreal imagery involving animals, hunters, and a bear. “Human Behaviour” reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the U.S. dance chart. A frequent mix-up is confusing it with another Debut single, “Venus as a Boy,” which was also released in the same period.
