[@gregfagan199]

This song and album really struck a chord. People were calling radio stations wanting to know what they just heard. Alanis was 19 when she wrote and recorded this. What a stunning, earth-shaking debut.

[@epkeenan]

Great album, but not her debut, she had a couple before this.

[@gregfagan199]

@@epkeenan Didn't know that. In wide release?

[@Fred-vy1hm]

She was a teen rocker like Debby Gibsen or Tiffany who had a couple of bubblegum pop hits and albums When she was 17 then disappeared for a few years before reappearing in a new genre with jagged little pill and a totally different persona.

[@Meanie74]

Dave Coulier still gross for dating a 19 year old, even if it it spawned this song. In fact, her feelings she communicates within the song are EXACTLY why 30 year old dudes should NOT date teen girls. You Oughta Know that’s a bad idea

[@jujuonthatqueef5043]

Yeah no need to explain these mfers are in their 30’s they have heard it before

[@bigs1546]

She was 17 and Dave Coulier [Uncle Joey from Full House] was in his mid thirties and they were together for 2 years. She was devastated and wrote the song as a therapy so she wouldn't be a "bunny boiler". There is nothing wrong with an age gap with adults, but when one of them is still a teen with a 15 year or so age gap, that is predatory in my book and he deserved every bit of her wrath. The line "sorry to bug you in the middle of dinner" was because she called to talk things out and he brushed her off saying - having dinner I'll call you and hung up. Nothing like a woman scorned. She wrote this at age 19 ! Album came out when she was 21 !

[@scapito]

Remember when this came out, and it gave so many women validation that they weren't "crazy." Authentic feelings about being hurt by someone she loved.

[@steven1479]

Y'all still crazy though lol

[@burgcarli929]

We don't have the luxury of hearing his side of the story.

[@michaelshultz1590]

While many of the guys those women dated were trash, the women picked them. They knew what they were getting when they said yes. They’re still crazy.

[@michaelshultz1590]

@@burgcarli929 Agreed. Maybe she was a controlling, crazy, overly emotional, bitch? Maybe they were both fucked up? It takes two to tango.

[@burgcarli929]

@@michaelshultz1590 There's no mention in the song about physical or verbal abuse. Sounds like he just had enough and left. She was clearly devastated.

[@lindawulfkoenig4907]

The day that MTV debuted the video, my sons and I were absolutely mesmerized by it. Then my husband came home an hour later and said, "You wouldn't believe this amazing song I just heard on the radio." Yep, same song! Love it to this day. And this album won Grammy awards.

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

And shut out Mariah Carrey in doing so. Mariah was PISSED!!

[@StacheBigote]

I love that! I was maybe 8 years old when this came out. Even I was bowled over by it. And I certainly wasn’t grasping the themes the way an adult would. But the power was so obvious.

I agree. I'm an Alanis fan but her subsequent albums were a steady decline in song quality. This whole album was awesome. The rest only have a few decent cherries among a thorns.

[@MasterBettyy]

@@Nepthu hard to go uphill when you have a literal GOAT album. Jagged little pill is insanely hard to top....

[@burtonmediaprod]

Some rumors say that the song is in reference to her relationship to Uncle Joey from FULL HOUSE. It has Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on bass, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) on drums and Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) on guitar.

[@scapito]

Hawkins was in the video and on tour with her. Different drummer that recorded on the studio album.

[@isabelledrevet5913]

Oh, I understand now why I find the bass line crazy... Just one of the best bassist in the world! Thanks 😉

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

Matt Laug played drums on the album

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

Alanis was very much a bubblegum pop style singer with the big hair and the colorful outfits, but the market was already oversaturated with singers like that (Debbie Gibson and Tiffany among the most popular) and she was struggling to get noticed. Then the break up happened... and it changed everything about her. This super angry song was the result, and just the beginning.

[@toddstevens13]

@@isabelledrevet5913 Flea walked into the Studio, listened to the original Bass Part, and looked Alanis in the eye and said this is as bad as it could be. Luckily Alanis at 19 years of age, went then fix it, and damn he did.

[@alexdrummer2175]

She played this song on the David Letterman show in 95. The anger and energy that came off the stage during that taping could have powered a small city!

[@floorticket]

Reportedly written about Dave Coulier from the 90s sitcom "Full House." She apparently did call him in the middle of dinner, etc.

I heard this comment about the song once and I agree with it. Alanis pretty much unloads both barrels onto whoever it was that crushed her heart. Then she shucked the two shells, loaded 2 more, and went double barrel on him again ... and again ... Great song, incredible artist

[@katesimmons9297]

"and every time i scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it .... WELL CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?!?!" one of the best lines in music ...

What's cool about this album is that prior to this, Alanis was known as a bubblegum pop star, with several catchy little tunes aimed at the teenybopper crowd. When this single released, it shattered that image overnight. I can't recall a more effective and potent attempt by a musician to rebrand themselves. She was a serious player in the industry after Jagged Little Pill dropped.
