"Oceania" is a song by Icelandic singer Björk. It was formerly planned to be the first single release from Björk's Medúlla album. Later it was just released as a promo. It was written for the 2004 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, where she performed immediately following the Parade of Nations. As with most of Medúlla, the track is composed purely of human vocals and features a London choir and Leeds-based beatboxer Shlomo.

- "Oceania" is a song by Icelandic singer Björk. It was formerly planned to be the first single release from Björk's Medúlla album. Later it was just released as a promo. It was written for the 2004 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, where she performed immediately following the Parade of Nations. As with most of Medúlla, the track is composed purely of human vocals and features a London choir and Leeds-based beatboxer Shlomo. The lyrics are written by her friend, Sjón, who is an Icelandic poet and novelist. They are written in the point of view of the ocean who sings about the evolution of humans from her waters. This was the last song written and mixed for the album. The video, directed by Lynn Fox, features a jewel-encrusted Björk in dark watery depths, with a colourful sunset and swirling floral creatures above her. Lynn Fox also made visuals for Björk's Greatest Hits Tour and the music video for "Nature Is Ancient" which is available on the greatest hits DVD Volumen as a bonus. A re-recording of "Oceania" was featured as a B-side to the "Who Is It" single. This version features vocals by Kelis and additional lyrics she had written herself from the continent's point of view. A piano version also appeared on the DVD single, which was assisted in its creation by Nico Muhly. The song was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 2005 Grammy Awards but lost out to Norah Jones.
- 'Oceania' es el primer single del álbum Medúlla, de la cantante Björk compuesto por ella misma y Sjón.
- Oceania è una canzone della cantante islandese Björk ed è estratta dall'album Medúlla. È stata scritta appositamente per la cerimonia di apertura della XXVIII Olimpiade ad Atene. Come tutte le canzoni contenute nell'album, la canzone è composta solo dal suono della voce umana e, in particolare, in questo caso hanno partecipato alla realizzazione un coro di Londra e un famoso beatboxer inglese, Shlomo. Il testo della canzone è stato scritto insieme ad un amico e collaboratore della cantante, Sjón; è una descrizione dell'evoluzione umana vista e commentata dal punto di vista dell'acqua, da cui tutto ha avuto origine. Oceania è l'ultima canzone appartenente al gruppo composto da Human Behaviour, Isobel e Bachelorette. La canzone ha avuto una nomination ai Grammy Award del 2005.
- Oceania is de eerste single afkomstig van het album Medúlla van de IJslandse zangeres Björk en is net als de rest van het album alleen met menselijke stemklanken opgenomen (o.a. een heel koor verzorgde de achtergrondgeluiden). Het nummer werd door Björk gezongen tijdens de opening van de Olympische Spelen in 2004. Het nummer is meer ter promotie van Medúlla dan dat het echt een opzichzelfstaande single was. Er zijn er maar weinig van uitgegeven en het behaalde in de UK Charts een 75e plek.
- Oceania é uma música da cantora islandesa Björk. Primeiro single do álbum Medúlla. Foi escrita por Björk e Sjón, um poeta islandês. O eu-lírico da faixa é o próprio oceano que canta sobre os seres humanos e sobre a fauna e flora marinha. Björk apresentou Oceania ao vivo nas Olimpíadas de Atenas. O lançamento foi em 2004. Em 2007 Björk incluiu a canção à turnê do álbum Volta.
