==Background==
Tori Amos' track "Taxi Ride" appears on her seventh studio album, ''Scarlet's Walk'' (2002). In September 2001, Amos released her first concept album ''Strange Little Girls''. Motherhood inspired Amos to produce a cover album, recording songs written by men about women and reversing the gender roles to show a woman's perspective. Amos would later reveal that a stimulus for the album was to end her contract with Atlantic without giving them new original songs; Amos felt that since 1998, the label had not been properly promoting her and had trapped her in a contract by refusing to sell her to another label. Nevertheless, ''Strange Little Girls'' received mostly favorable reviews from music critics, some who complimented the idea of twisting the male perspective into female views and the composition, while some dismissed this.〔(Critic reviews from Metacritic )〕 It sold over 110,000 units in its first week in the US, reaching number four on the Billboard 200.
After leaving Atlantic, she signed to Epic Records to record the ''Scarlet's Walk'' album. However, Epic's President Polly Anthony announced her resignation that would be fulfilled in early 2003. Amos personally liked Anthony and was the reason why she signed to the label, so Amos formed Bridge Entertainment Group. However, Epic and Sony Music Entertainment merged with BMG as a result to the industry's sales decline.〔 Despite this, Amos carried on recording the album. ''Scarlet's Walk'' was released in October 2002. Through the songs, Amos explores such topics as the history of America, American people, Native American history, pornography, masochism, homophobia and misogyny. It reached number seven on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
