Head over Feet

"Head over Feet" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, taken from her third (and first outside Canada) studio album Jagged Little Pill (1995). Written by Alanis and Glen Ballard, and produced by Ballard, it was released as the album's fifth single (sixth in the United States) in 1996 (see 1996 in music) and presented a softer sound than the previous singles from the album. "Head over Feet" talks about best friends with as well as lovers, with Alanis thanking him for his manners, love and devotion. It received positive response from critics, who described it as soft and light. The song became Morissette's first number-one hit on the US Billboard Adult Top 40 chart and also topped the Mainstream Top 40 chart. In the United Kingdom, it was her first top-10 single, and it reached the top 20 in Australia. In Canada, the song spent eight weeks at number one on the RPM Top Singles Chart, the most of any of her four number-one songs from Jagged Little Pill. The single also peaked at number one in Iceland. A live version of "Head over Feet" is featured on the album Alanis Unplugged (1999), and an acoustic version of the song was recorded for the album Jagged Little Pill Acoustic (2005).
