FOOLISH GAMES
“Foolish Games” is a song by American recording artist Jewel from her debut studio album Pieces of You (1995). It was also the third single to be lifted from the Batman & Robin motion picture soundtrack. Jewel re-recorded the single for the soundtrack to produce a more radio-friendly version, similar to her other singles “Who Will Save Your Soul” and “You Were Meant for Me”. This version is shorter than the album version by one verse. The song details the frustration and agony of knowing that the intensity of one’s love is not reciprocated by one’s lover.

Jewel (full name: Jewel Kilcher) is a contemporary folksinger who had a roughshod upbringing in Homer, Alaska. She was just 21 when her debut album Pieces of You was released, spawning three popular singles: “Who Will Save Your Soul”, “You Were Meant for Me”, and “Foolish Games”. While not an immediate success, Jewel toured constantly, and Atlantic Records pushed the album in all quarters; it eventually became one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, selling 12 million copies in the US alone.
