"Big Mistake" is Natalie Imbruglia's second single from the her debut album "Left of the Middle". It was released on 8 March 1998. The music video was filmed in Barcelona and directed by Alison Maclean. The video shows a male suitor with a bouquet of flowers chasing after Imbruglia through the city. Many obstacles prevent him from reaching her though, and at the end of the video she ultimately gets away from him in a red pickup truck. It is not clear in the video whether she even realizes that he is pursuing her or not. It reached number two in the UK and number six in Australia.

Charts

The single has sold 250,000 copies in the UK.

Billboard's Review:

Imbruglia's breakthrough hit, "Torn," may be lingering in the minds of many, but RCA is wisely wasting no time rolling out this equally potent, if far more aggressive, follow-up. The budding young singer plows through a garden of skittling, hip-hop-derived beats and caustic rock guitar like a teeth-gnashing diva on fire. This single will make it hard to shake those comparisons to Alanis Morissette, but Imbruglia performs like she simply couldn't care less. Such natural confidence will carry her far, as well as lead her to a more distinctive vocal style in fairly short time. Until then, Imbruglia will continue to please the masses with the kind of material that multi-platinum albums are made of. By the by, the commercial pressing of "Big Mistake" is backed with a previously unavailable and endlessly yummy acoustic version of "Torn."
