"Hyperballad" (sometimes written as "Hyper-Ballad") is a song by the Icelandic musician Björk, released in February 1996, by One Little Indian, as the fourth single from her second solo album, Post (1995). It was written by Björk and co-produced by her long time collaborator Nellee Hooper.
"Hyperballad" incorporates folktronica, acid house, and synth-pop. The lyrics describe a dream in which Björk wakes before her lover and throws objects off a cliff, watching them smash, before returning to their bed. She said this symbolised the parts of oneself that people give up to make relationships work.
