It was not released in the United States or Canada.
Critical reception
British magazine Music Week gave "Big Mistake" five out of five, writing, "Swooning and sultry vocals, more Morissette than Texas, and a dream of guitar song to challenge Madonna for the number one spot. And she wrote it herself."[1]
Music video
The music video for "Big Mistake" was directed by Alison Maclean and filmed in Barcelona, Spain.[2][3] It features Imbruglia walking through the streets of Barcelona while being pursued by a male suitor, and begins with her walking, oblivious to things that are happening around her. Meanwhile, the man follows her down the street with a bouquet of flowers. While in pursuit of Imbruglia, several obstacles prevent him from reaching her. The video concludes with her riding away from her suitor in the back of a stranger's red pickup truck. The video was inspired by the traffic accident scene in Jean-Luc Godard's film Week End.[3]
