Bachelorette (song)

"Bachelorette" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer, songwriter and actress Björk for her third studio album, Homogenic (1997).[a] Released as its second single on 1 December 1997, the song was originally written for Stealing Beauty, a film by Bernardo Bertolucci, but the project was withdrawn. The lyrics for "Bachelorette" were written by Sjón, a friend and collaborator of the singer. The song's accompanying music video was noted for its surrealistic art direction, leading to a win at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.
