I’m thinking, I don’t know if you want to take credit for being the person I wrote ‘You Oughta Know’ about.” “No revealing,” Morissette said after being asked who it was about, “but I am intrigued at the thought-or at the fact-that more than one person has taken credit for it. In December, Morissette appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and shared that not one, but six people have “taken credit” for being the subject of “You Oughta Know,” according to E!.

If you need a refresher, “You Oughta Know” famously talks about doing explicit activities in a theater and a lot about sex.

However, when a prominent radio station - KROQ-FM - played “You Oughta Know,” it changed the trajectory of the single and Morissette’s album. The album came out a little less than a month earlier, and was a “slow burn” with sales and enthusiasm, as Salon called it. “You Oughta Know” debuted on July 7, 1995, as the lead single off of her well-known album Jagged Little Pill.
