Oblivion

Grimes wrote and produced "Oblivion", recorded in August 2011; the album tracklist gives 4:12 and the song's Wikipedia page 4:11, and a radio edit runs 3:10. MusicBrainz also lists a 4:09 video cut and several remixes. The title refers to David Foster Wallace's Oblivion: Stories. NME compared the sound to Kraftwerk teaming with Blondie to rework "Heart of Glass", and Nylon likened it to late-1980s mall pop through a punk sensibility.

The video, co-directed by Grimes and Emily Kai Bock and debuted on March 2, 2012, was filmed in Montreal at Olympic Stadium and McGill's Molson Stadium during a football game and a supercross event. It is gold in the US and UK and platinum in New Zealand, reached 92 in Ireland, and came 38th in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2012. Pitchfork placed it first among the tracks of 2012, describing a song with open spaces and hairline cracks in which you can see parts of yourself, and NME ranks it 229th among the 500 greatest songs.

Setlist.fm lists it as her second most played song, 158 performances across 289 setlists, behind "Genesis" (167).
