Songfacts®:

  • This track finds Morissette mulling self-doubt and the help one needs to get out of that vicious circle. "The most important theme here is the last line of the chorus, the whole idea of reaching out to someone," the Canadian songstress told Spinner. "Yes, personal empowerment and personal connection with spirit and self - let's foster that. And let's foster personal responsibility. That's lovely, high fives. But we're social creatures. A sense of autonomy is lovely, but forgoing interdependence for some steely independence forgoes the opportunity for intimacy, connection, love and the healing of the planet."
