Alanis Morissette’s song “Uninvited” has been a haunting presence in the music world since its release in 1998. Many fans have wondered what inspired her to create such a deeply emotional piece. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons behind Morissette’s creation of “Uninvited.”
Why Did Alanis Morissette Write Uninvited?
The song “Uninvited” by Alanis Morissette was inspired by a movie, but again she was going through something personal, to which a lot of the emotions lined up just perfectly.
She was going through something personal too, and the emotions lined up perfectly. Think of it like this: the movie needed a song about feeling out of place and wanting to be heard, and Alanis was feeling the same way.
So, she poured her own experience into the song, making it something both relatable and powerful.
Alanis Morissette Released an Acoustic Album
In June 2005, Morissette released Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, a studio acoustic version of the song, to celebrate the song’s tenth anniversary (1995). For a period of six weeks, the CD was only available through Starbucks’ Hear Music retail concept in their coffee shops.
The restricted availability sparked a conflict between HMV North America and Maverick Records, the latter of which responded by taking Morissette’s other albums off the market for the time of Starbucks’s special six-week promotion.
Jagged Little Pill Acoustic had sold 372,000 copies in the United States as of November 2010, and the music video for “Hand in My Pocket” was aired on VH1 in the country.
Midway through her two-month tour in 2005, Morissette performed in small theaters as part of the accompanying tour. In the same year, Morissette received her Walk of Fame induction in Canada.
Final Thoughts
“Uninvited” feels like Alanis ripped a page right out of her diary and set it to music. The movie sparked the idea, but it was her own stuff, you know, the feels, that really made the song sing.
And that’s why it hit us all so hard. It wasn’t just some movie song, it was this raw, honest anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like a crasher at their own party.”pen_spark
