In a statement to Rolling Stone about the track, Morissette wrote, "this song was from the songs that glen ballard and i wrote together leading up to the writing of jagged little pill. this was when we were writing music and lyrics together. once we got into the zone, after the writing of 'ironic,' i would go on to write the lyrics myself, and the music with glen. this song was about my lamenting the fact that i was relegated to the 'friend zone' with someone i cared deeply about in a romantic way. I had yet to begin writing as intensely or autobiographically. that began as soon as we wrote the song 'perfect.'" Read more here.
