"Hidden Place" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fourth studio album Vespertine (2001). Originally intended for the soundtrack album Selmasongs (2000), "Hidden Place" was written and produced by Björk herself, features lyrics centered around a secluded romantic connection, and incorporates an instrumental composition influenced by glitch music.
Released as the lead single from Vespertine on 30 July 2001 by One Little Indian Records, the track was accompanied by a music video directed by art collective M/M (Paris) and photographers Inez and Vinoodh, and portrays a magnified view of liquids streaming through Björk's facial features. "Hidden Place" was critically well-received for its mellowness and usage of a choir, though some found it to be less commercially appealing than her previous work. Topping the single charts in Spain and peaking within the top 20 in Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, and Norway, the song was later featured as the eleventh track on Greatest Hits (2002).
