History
The song was co-written by Brooks and Shelly Peiken. Initially some radio stations preferred not to mention the song by name and would instead refer to it as "a song by Meredith Brooks". However, with time announcing its name on the air became more commonplace. Later different remixes of the song became popular in dance clubs.
Brooks has stated in interviews that "Bitch" was nearly omitted from the album, reportedly because the song's strong language could have kept it from becoming a radio hit.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
