It was released as the first single from Nirvana's third and final studio album, In Utero, in August 1993, and appears as the third track. It was one of two songs from the album mixed by Scott Litt to enhance producer Steve Albini's original production. Although Nirvana DGC Records did not release a physical single in the United States, fearing it might hurt the album's sales, Heart-Shaped Box received many American radio broadcasts, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Single in the top 10 in several countries, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland and New York, and the top 40 in many other countries. The music video, directed by Anton Corbein, received critical applause and received two awards, including Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1994. Heart-Shaped Box is Cobain's last live song with Nirvana, March 1, 1994, in Munich, Germany. The origin and record Kurt Cobain wrote Heart-Shaped Box in early 1992. Cobain forgot about the song for a while, but started working on it again when he and his wife, Courtney Love, moved into a house in the Hollywood Hills. In an interview with Rolling Stone in 1994, Love said she overheard him working on the song's riff in the closet. She said she asked him if she could use a riff for one of her songs, to which he replied: Fuck you! and closed the closet door. The couple shared a magazine in which they wrote lyrics; Cobain's biographer Charles R. Cross noted that Love's sensitivity to songwriting informed Cobain of the song. The song's name comes from a heart-shaped box that Love gave to Cobain. However, Cobain originally called the song Heart-Shaped Coffin. Nirvana found it difficult to complete the song. Cobain tried to overshadow the song during the jam sessions. He said, I tried to wait for bassist Krista and drummer Dave Grohl to come up with something, but it just turned into a noise all the time. Cobain made one last attempt to complete the song; he was able to come up with a vocal melody, and the band finally finished writing the song. Cobain said that when they completed the Heart Of Shape Box, we finally realized that it was a good song. In January 1993, the band recorded a demo of Heart-Shaped Box during a session with Craig Montgomery at BMG Ariola Studios in Rio de Janeiro. The In Utero version was recorded in February 1993 by Steve Albini in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Prior to the album's release, the track was remixed by Scott Litt. Cobain was unapologetic about the band's decision to remix it, and claimed that the vocals and bass were not noticeable enough in the original mixes. Novoselic was also dissatisfied with the original Heart-Shaped Box mix. In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times in 1993, he said the original effect used on the song's guitar sounded like a fucking abortion hitting the floor. When the song was remixed by Litt, Cobain took the opportunity to add acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies. The song Heart-Shaped Box Heart-Shaped Box, released as the first single from In Utero, was supplemented during mixing with Scott Litt. Dissatisfied with the song's sound, Nirvana had Litt increase the volume of Cobain's vocals and bass guitar, and the band added acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Problems with playing this file? See the media report. Heart-Shaped Box is an alternative rock song that lasts four minutes and thirty-nine seconds. According to a note published in the Musicnotes.com BMG Rights Management, it is written at 4/4 signature time, with a moderate rate of 100 beats per minute. Heart-Shaped Box consists of the G minor key, modulating up to Gz Dorian on verse, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans one octave, from the low G-3 note to the high note of the G-4. The song has a basic G-5- E5-C-5-G-E5-C-7 sequence in verse and G'5-E5-C-7 during the chorus as chords. As a Nirvana formula, journalist Gillian Gaar described Heart-Shaped Box as a Nirvana formula, an awesome, low-key, downward riff played through a verse that builds the choir's cascading passion in intensity. Cobain said the song was inspired by documentaries about children with cancer. He told biographer Michael Azerrad, Whenever I think about it, I'm sad than anything I can think about. In his biography Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, Azerrad claimed that despite Cobain's explanation, the song was actually about Courtney Love. Charles Cross wrote in his biography of Kurt Cobain Heavier Than Heaven that with the lyrics I would like to eat your cancer You blackened, the frontman sang in what must have been the most confusing route any songwriter has taken in the history of pop music to say: I love you. After singing the song to singer Lana Del Rey in 2012, Courtney Love announced on Twitter that the song was about her vagina. The tweets were deleted shortly thereafter. Cobain said the chorus of Hey/Wait/I've got a new complaint is his example of how he was perceived by the media. In early September 1993, DGC released Heart-Shaped Box for college, contemporary rock and rock-oriented rock radio stations. There were no plans to release a single for the song domestically. At the time, head of marketing for Geffen Records told Billboard that the label was not actively courting Top 40 radio, explaining: Nirvana did not sell nearly 5 million records due to the hit single. They've sold so many albums because of who they are. The song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and eventually peaked at number one on the chart. The song also reached number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The single was released in the UNITED Kingdom, where it peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. Released in August 1993, the 7-inch vinyl and cassette formats featured Marigold as a B-side, while 12-inch vinyl and CD versions added in Utero's Milk It. In 1999, the song was voted number 10 in Kerrang! magazine 100 greatest rock tracks ever!. Nirvana originally wanted Kevin Kerslake, who directed the music videos for the band's singles Come as You Are, Lithium, In Bloom and Sliver, to make the music video for Heart-Shaped Box. In July and August 1993, Kerslake prepared five procedures, but no filming arrangements were made, and by the end of the month the group had decided to work with Dutch photographer and video director Anton Corbin. Corbane, who used to create his own ideas for the video, was initially unsure about directing the video because Cobain's treatment was so detailed. Corbyn said: But then I looked at it and I thought it was actually pretty good. I was very impressed that someone wrote the song and had these ideas as accurately as he did. The video begins and ends with a group in the hospital watching the old man administer medication via a drip. Most of the video takes place in a surreal outdoor setting that includes images from the film The Wizard of Oz. The second verse represents a young girl in a white robe and a peak hat reaching the human fruit on a tree, and an overweight woman in a suit with human organs painted on it and with angel wings back (similar to the woman on the cover of In Utero). In the final section of the video, the group is shown only performing in an outdoor setting during the choirs, where Cobain's face moves in and out of focus in the chamber. While much of the video was developed by Cobain, Corbyn added elements such as intentionally artificial crows, a ladder for an old man to climb a cross with, and a box with a heart at the top that the band performs inside during the last chorus of the song. Corbyn created another cut of the video with alternate footage during the final verse, including more shots of a young girl and a woman, and scenes of Cobain lying on his back in a poppy field, with the fog surrounding him. This version of the video is featured on DVD by Director Anton Corbyn' Work. After the video was released, Kevin Kerslake sued Nirvana, accusing her of copyright infringement. The case was settled in an out-of-court manner. The music video Heart-Shaped Box was the most popular music video on MTV in the United States, recorded by Billboard magazine on November 20, 1993.
