"Triumph of a Heart" was the third single from Björk's album Medúlla. The hip-hop flavored song featured Japanese beatboxer, Dokaka.
The video was directed by Spike Jonze, who also directed her most popular video, "It's Oh So Quiet". In the video, Björk tires of her boyfriend, played by a real cat, and storms out of the house for a night out on the town. She goes to a pub where the soundtrack stops and the locals (including Dokaka) join her for a special performance of the song recorded for the video. She eventually returns back home and rekindles her affections for her cat-boyfriend.
During the filming of the video, as she was running down the street, she accidentally stumbled and slid down the street with her face on the ground. The incident, as well as the scrapes on her face, were kept in the video.
The making of the video is documented in a bonus feature that appears on The Medúlla Videos DVD. Partially a mockumentary, the feature focuses on the auditions for the bar patrons who had to be able to make the noises and sound effects required for the song.
The single was released on 28 February 2005 in the UK, and peaked at #31.
