Songfacts®:

This song is about the legal battles Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain fought for the custody of their daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. Because of their drug use, Love and Cobain had to fight allegations they were unfit parents. Particularly troubling was a 1992 interview Love did with Vanity Fair that implied she was doing drugs while pregnant.
Most of Hole's songs were written by Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson. However, Kat Bjelland, lead singer and guitarist of Babes in Toyland, collaborated in writing this song. When they were young, Jennifer Finch, Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland formed a band called Sugar Babydoll, later called Sugar Bunnyfarm. >>>

"I Think That I Would Die" is an album cut from Live Through This, Hole's second album. It was their big breakthrough, but it was released amid tragedy: Kurt Cobain was found dead just days before it was issued, and the band's bass player, Kristen Pfaff, died from a drug overdose two months later.

Mia!! from New Yorkthis song gives such representation of the hurt and pain that courtney and kurt went through to get custody of frances. when she says "where is the baby? i want my baby!" it has so much depth and the emotion in her voice is so raw and beautiful. this is by far my favorite hole song.
Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganFun facts:

"There is no milk," "Milk" is something Courtney would sometimes call heroin.

"Rose Red" is Snow White's lesser-known sister in old fairy tales.
Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnI love when Courtney screams the F word in the middle of the song.
Alexandria from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emiratesawesome song!
