  • «Hyperballad» también conocida como Hyper-Ballad es el cuarto sencillo del álbum Post de la cantante y compositora Björk. La letra de la canción habla de Björk y su pareja, que viven en la cima de una montaña. Cada mañana Björk se levanta antes que su amante para ir ladera abajo recogiendo desperdicios como botellas, piezas de coches, cubiertos, etc., que más tarde arroja por un precipicio y las ve hasta que caen y quedan hechas trizas e imagina su cuerpo en la misma situación, cayendo. Así se siente mejor, volviendo a la cima sabiendo que está a salvo en los brazos de su amante. Según Björk, la canción va dedicada a todas esas parejas que están hartas de la rutina y buscan cosas nuevas. "Hyperballad" fue la canción que más votos recibió en la selección popular de las canciones que figurarían en el álbum Greatest Hits​ (es)

She imagines her body in their place, which makes her feel better about returning to her safe home and the arms of her lover. "Hyperballad" was heavily lauded by contemporary music critics, who stated that it was the best song of Björk's career. The song's lyrical content, vocal performance and experimentation in its production and composition were also highly praised. The song was moderately successful in the countries it charted in, including Finland, Australia, United States, Sweden and the United Kingdom (where it was the last of three top ten hits, after "Army of Me" and "It's Oh So Quiet"). A music video was released for the single, featuring a digitalised Björk running and falling from a cliff. Björk performed the song at the 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert in New York, which was recorded by Sylvia Massy for Capitol Records. This live version was subsequently included on the second disc of the Tibetan Freedom Concert album released later that year. (en)

  • "Hyperballad", även "Hyper-Ballad", är en låt skriven av den isländska sångerskan Björk med Nellee Hooper och inspelad av Björk på albumet Post, 1996. Den gavs även ut som den andra singeln från albumet den 12 februari 1996. Låten har uppnått åttonde plats på den brittiska singellistan. Med dess snabba dance-inriktade tempo blandat med element från triphop och electronica är "Hyperballad" ett tydligt exempel på en IDM-låt (Intelligent dance music). I låten sjunger Björk om att hon vaknar tidigt en morgon före hennes partner och kastar små föremål ned för en klippa för att se dem gå i bitar. Hon föreställer sig att dessa föremål är hennes kropp, vilket får henne att må bättre av att återvända hem till sin älskares famn. Musikvideon till låten regisserades av den franske videoproducenten Michel Gondry. I videon får man se Björk som en tv-spelskaraktär som springer genom ett konstigt landskap av pyloner och kastar sig sedan ned från en klippa. (sv)
