Heart-Shaped Box
Valentine's gift packaging
Heart-Shaped Box is a 1992 song by Nirvana, the lead single from their album *In Utero*.
The title evokes both romantic imagery and something darker—the lyrics are cryptic and unsettling, touching on disease, obsession, and confinement.
The phrase also refers literally to decorative boxes shaped like hearts, traditionally given as Valentine's gifts containing chocolates or keepsakes: She kept his letters in a heart-shaped box.
