"It's in Our Hands" was a single released along with Björk's "Greatest Hits" CD in late 2002. The song was previously heard during her Vespertine Tour in 2001. The song relies heavily on a sample taken from To Rococo Rot's song Die Dinge Des Lebens from the album The Amateur View. The video was directed by Spike Jonze. The single peaked at number 37 in the UK.

The music video features a very pregnant Björk shot at night with a night-vision camera amongst bushes. Her image is transposed against close-ups of flowers, plants, and bugs to make her appear as if she is smaller than them. There are also shots of underwater scenes interspersed throughout the video.

A second video was directed by Lynn Fox and set to the Soft Pink Truth remix of "It's in Our Hands".

Live

"It's in Our Hands", being the only single released from "Greatest Hits", was normally played at the end of same era concerts, but existed in two different versions. One was seemingly identical to the album version, but featured an Inuit version of the children's song "Paddycake", whereas the other version was actually a dance remix by the Soft Pink Truth. This version is especially popular amongst fans and has been described as "spending a long winter at home ("Vespertine") and then having a discoball drop out of your ceiling". To some fans it is more preferable than the original version and has its own video that consists of digital drawings and sepia photography.
