"Oral" is a song by Icelandic musician Björk featuring Spanish singer Rosalía. A charity single to protest against extensive open net pen fish farming in Iceland, it was released on 21 November 2023 through One Little Independent.[1]
To prevent the opening of an industrial salmon farm in Iceland, and to campaign for new Icelandic legislation, Björk and Rosalía donated their rights to the income generated by "Oral" to the non-profit organization AEGIS,[2] founded after it was revealed that there were repeated escapes of thousands of fish into the wild.[3][4]
The song debuted at number 42 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, becoming Björk's first entry on the chart.
On 10 April 2024, a remix of the song by Olof Dreijer was released on streaming services. It is Björk and Dreijer's second collaboration, after Country Creatures (2019).[5]
