"Innocence" is a song written and recorded by
Music video contest
A fan contest to submit ideas for the music video for "Innocence" was announced in a news article on bjork.com on 19 March 2007, with the intention being that Björk would work with the chosen fan director to fully flesh out the video idea.
On 27 July 2007 bjork.com announced that the winner of the video contest was to be decided via an online poll (reminiscent of the online poll used to decide on the track listing for the Greatest Hits album) from a shortlist of eleven videos. On 7 August 2007, the winners, a French duo known only as Fred & Annabelle, were chosen.[6]
Commercial performance
Perhaps because of the lack of a physical release, "Innocence" failed to chart in the UK, becoming only the third single of Björk's career up until this point not to chart, the first being "Jóga" in 1997 (the EP charted at number 191 in 1998, however), and the second being "Oceania" in 2004.
