"You Oughta Know" is a song by Canadian-American recording artist and songwriter Alanis Morissette, released as the lead single from her third studio album, ''Jagged Little Pill'' (1995) on July 7, 1995. After releasing two commercially successful studio albums through MCA Records Canada, Morissette left MCA Records Canada and was introduced to manager Scott Welch. Morissette began working on new music after moving from her hometown of Ottawa to Toronto, but did not make much progress until travelling to Los Angeles, where she met Glen Ballard. Alanis and Ballard co-wrote the song with the latter producing it, while musicians Flea and Dave Navarro of the Red Hot Chili Peppers played bass and guitar on the track. The song was the first released track that saw Morissette's departure from bubblegum pop to the alternative rock sound she was later known for. Released to positive reviews from critics, the single managed to outperform the label's initial expectations. KROQ-FM, an influential Los Angeles modern rock radio station, began playing "You Oughta Know", leading to the single receiving commercial success, reaching the top ten in Australia and the United States, where it was a multiformat hit in several different genre charts, and making the top forty in Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. In order to promote the song, an accompanying video was directed by Nick Egan. The single was added in the set list for Morissette's concert tour, Jagged Little Pill World Tour (1995); since then, it has been included in her albums ''MTV Unplugged'' (1999), ''Feast on Scraps'' (2002), and ''The Collection'', as well as 1997 Grammys and the ''MTV Unplugged'' compilation albums. The song went on to receive numerous accolades; in the 1996, the single was nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning the awards for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. ==Background== In 1991, MCA Records Canada released Morissette's debut studio album ''Alanis'', which went Platinum in Canada.〔("Search Certification Database" ). Canadian Recording Industry Association.〕 This was followed by her second album, ''Now Is the Time'', but it was a commercial failure, selling only a little more than half the copies of her first album.〔("Transcript: Profiles of Alanis Morissette, Margaret Cho" ).

November 2, 1995.〕 With her two-album deal with MCA Records Canada complete, Morissette was left without a major label contract. In 1993, Morissette's publisher Leeds Levy at MCA Music Publishing introduced her to manager Scott Welch. Welch told HitQuarters he was impressed by her "spectacular voice", her character and her lyrics. At the time she was still living at home with her parents. Together they decided it would be best for her career to move to Toronto and start writing with other people.〔 After graduating from high school, Morissette moved from Ottawa to Toronto.〔 Her publisher funded part of her development and when she met producer and songwriter Glen Ballard, he believed in her talent enough to let her use his studio.〔〔 The two wrote and recorded Morissette's first internationally released album, ''Jagged Little Pill'', and by the spring of 1995, she had signed a deal with Maverick Records. According to Welch, every label they had approached had passed on Morissette apart from Maverick.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Oughta Know」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
