Jagged Little Pill

Jagged Little Pill is the third studio album by Canadian singer Alanis Morissette, released in 1995.

Its raw, confessional songs about heartbreak, disillusionment, and female anger made it one of the best-selling albums of the decade and a cultural touchstone for 1990s alternative rock.

The title track uses the idiom "a bitter pill to swallow"—something unpleasant that must be accepted—adding jagged to suggest the experience is not just bitter but painfully sharp.

The album was later adapted into a Broadway musical.
