"Big Time Sensuality" came out in November 1993 as the fourth single from Björk's Debut, written with her frequent partner Nellee Hooper and produced by him. It's the album at its most dancefloor-ready, a house-flavored rush of electronic bass and thumping grooves with Björk's voice leaping all over it like a kid just let out of school.

The words are about her bond with her friends and with Hooper himself, which explains all that giddy energy. It helped carry her around the world, giving her a first chart entry in the US and a number one back home in Iceland. Stéphane Sednaoui's video, just Björk dancing on the back of a truck crawling through New York City, earned a nomination at the 1994 Billboard Music Video Awards.
