"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 July 1996 and presented a softer sound than the previous singles from the album. "Head over Feet" talks about being best friends and lovers with someone at the same time, with Alanis thanking them for their manners, love and devotion.

Contents

"Head over Feet" 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 Top 40/Mainstream 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 100 Hit Tracks 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). The song is included in the Jagged Little Pill musical and is performed on the show's soundtrack by actors Celia Rose Gooding, Antonio Cipriano, Elizabeth Stanley and Sean Allan Krill.

Writing and composition

Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard wrote "Head over Feet", one of the several tracks they collaborated on for her breakthrough album, Jagged Little Pill (1995). Ballard met Alanis on March 8, 1994, after his publishing company matched them up. According to Ballard, the connection was "instant", and within 30 minutes of meeting each other they had begun experimenting with different sounds in Ballard's home studio in San Fernando Valley, California. [3] Ballard also declared to Rolling Stone that, "I just connected with her as a person, and, almost parenthetically, it was like 'Wow, you're 19?' She was so intelligent and ready to take a chance on doing something that might have no commercial application. Although there was some question about what she wanted to do musically, she knew what she didn't want to do, which was anything that wasn't authentic and from her heart." [4]

"Head over Feet" tells a tale of a couple who are best friends as well as lovers, in which the protagonist thanks a friend for his manners, love and devotion. [5] For Jason Radford of Pop'Stache, "It speaks of love beyond the lines and attraction regardless of inhibitions." [6] Yahoo! Voices 's Joanna Lopez wrote that the song "is about realizing you've fallen in love with your best friend." [7] [ unreliable source? ] "You are the bearer of unconditional things, you held your breath and the door for me, thanks for your patience," she sings. [8]

Sheet music for "Head over Feet" shows the key of C major (with the chorus in D major) in common time at a tempo of 120 beats per minute, and Morissette's vocals spanning from G3 to B4. [9]

Critical reception

"Head over Feet" was released on July 22, 1996, as the album's fifth single. [1] The song received mostly positive response from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic chose it as a standout track on the album. [10] Likewise, Erlewine also picked it as a highlight on her compilation, The Collection (2005). [11] Melissa Minners of G- Pop called it "a pretty song," but admitted she prefers "the angry Alanis." [12] British magazine Music Week rated it four out of five, describing it as "another stormer, with the Canadian's extra-personal vocals rising to a dramatic crescendo. A surefire hit." [13] Jason Radford of Pop'Stache praised the track, writing that it "words itself brilliantly, providing the words that shaped a generation. Its metaphors are young, but mature, simple, but detailed." [6] John Weathered of Sputnikmusic wrote that on 'Head over Feet' "she sound[s] quite sweet, where she goes on about a friend who becomes her lover." [14] Joanna Lopez of Yahoo! Voices simply called it "a great song," praising the music, however feeling "the words are better than the music." [7]

Chart performance

"Head over Feet" was a major commercial success in Canada and the United Kingdom, peaking at number one and seven, respectively. In Canada, the song debuted at number 94 on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart [15] and later peaked at number one for eight weeks (the longest reign of the year), becoming her fourth consecutive number-one single from Jagged Little Pill. [16] The song spent 14 weeks in the Top Ten and was the number ten song for 1996, even though its last week at number one and last four weeks in the Top Ten spilled over in 1997. In the United Kingdom, it became the only single from the album to reach the top ten and remains her second most successful single in the UK after "Thank You" which peaked at number five in 1998. [17] In Australia, it was her third most successful single from the album on the ARIA Singles Chart, peaking at number 12, [18] while in New Zealand, it was her least successful, reaching number 27.

On the Top 40/Mainstream chart, it was another major radio hit, reaching the number one spot, becoming her third consecutive single to do so. The song reached number three on the Hot 100 Airplay (Radio Songs) [20] and number one on the Adult Top 40, her first single to achieve this. [21] On the Modern Rock Tracks chart, it debuted at number 36 on the issue of September 28, 1996, but only peaked at number 25, the least successful single from Jagged Little Pill. [22]

Music video

The music video for "Head over Feet" was directed by Michele Laurita. The video is simple, showing a close-up of Morisette singing and playing harmonica, and uses a locked-off camera that never changes its field of vision. [23] There are two versions of the video: the "Head" version and the "Feet" version (played in Europe and Asia). The 12th take version ends with Morisette's laughter, while the other version shows her and the band playing with children running and playing the harmonica around them. Both videos are featured on the DVD Jagged Little Pill, Live (1997). [23]

Released in September 1996, [22] the video received heavy rotation on MuchMusic, VH1, MTV and other music video channels. In October, the video was the third most played video on VH1 and the 22nd on MTV. [24] In November, the video was already among the top-twenty on the most watched videos list compiled by Billboard Magazine . [20] On the November 23, 1996, issue of Billboard, the video was the most played video on VH1. [25]

Alanis Nadine Morissette is a Canadian and American singer, songwriter and musician known for her emotive mezzo-soprano voice and confessional songwriting. She began her music career in Canada in the early 1990s with two dance-pop albums.

Morissette won the 1996 Grammy Award for Album of the Year among other accolades, and the album was adapted into a 2018 rock musical. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has Jagged Little Pill on their 200 Definitive Albums list, and it appeared on various editions of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" guide.

<i>Jagged Little Pill</i> 1995 studio album by Alanis Morissette

Jagged Little Pill is the third studio album by Canadian-American singer Alanis Morissette, released on June 13, 1995, through Maverick and her first album to be released worldwide. It marked a significant stylistic shift from Morissette's earlier dance-pop sound, departing from her first two albums, Alanis (1991) and Now Is the Time (1992). To underscore this transformation and establish herself on the international stage, Morissette adopted her full name professionally, moving beyond her previous single-name moniker "Alanis". This deliberate change in both musical direction and personal branding signaled a new chapter in her career, setting the stage for her breakthrough international debut. Morissette began work on the album after moving from her hometown Ottawa to Los Angeles, where she met producer Glen Ballard. Morissette and Ballard had an instant connection and began co-writing and experimenting with sounds. The experimentation resulted in an alternative rock album that takes influence from post-grunge and pop rock, and features guitars, keyboards, drum machines, and harmonica. The lyrics touch upon themes of aggression and unsuccessful relationships, while Ballard introduced a pop sensibility to Morissette's angst. The title of the album is taken from a line in the first verse of the song "You Learn".
