“Shadowboxer” is a song written and performed by American alternative singer-songwriter Fiona Apple.
It was released on July 1, 1996 by Work Records and Columbia Records as her debut single from her debut studio album, Tidal.
Background and release Apple recorded the song with collaborator Jon Brion in 1995 immediately after being signed to a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment.
Its lyrical content mainly explores the themes of the dangers of desire and vulnerability.[1]
It was then released as her debut and lead single from her forthcoming debut studio album on July 1, 1996.
A music video of the song directed by Jim Gable was released.
Apple performed “Shadowboxer” in various events, most notably during the 22nd season of Saturday Night Live[2] and on the television special MTV Unplugged: Fiona Apple.[3]
Music video Shot entirely in black-and-white, this takes place in a recording studio, with scenes of her playing the piano and in Fostex T20RP headphones singing in front of a microphone.[4]
Chart performance The song charted inside the Top 40 of two different Billboard charts.
It spent six weeks on the Alternative Songs chart, peaking at number 34.[5]
It fared much better on the Adult Pop Songs, peaking at number 32 and spent over 15 weeks on the chart.[5]
Critical reception “Shadowboxer” has received critical acclaim from music critics, with many of them comparing Apple’s voice to Nina Simone and her lyrical talent to Carole King.[6]
Steven Mirkin of Entertainment Weekly gave the song an A−, he wrote, “Singing to a former lover, her slurred, smoky vocals float above a loping, gospel-tinged piano, vibes, and string arrangement, making her “Shadowboxer” sound like Nina Simone covering early Elton John.
Although she’s only 18, she has the poise of a seasoned singer.”[7]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the song as “haunting”, remarking that while “it strives to say something deep and important, much of the lyrics settle for clichés.”[8]
Lyrics: Once my lover Now my friend What a cruel thing To pretend What a cunning way To condescend Once my lover and Now my friend Oh, you creep up Like the clouds And you set my soul at ease Then you let Your love abound And you bring me To my knees Oh, it’s evil, babe The way you let Your grace enrapture me When will you know I’d be insane To ever let that Dirty game recapture me

They fall From your mouth Propelled by your belly And your tongue I shiver when you shake And fold into jelly I think I loved you more than me
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
My baby cherry slipped Pass me through your fingertips Throw me down like an old rag I’m not standing Don’t look back
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
They went searching For your body They went looking but there’s nobody Who smells like you Who looks like you You’re not human…too
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
