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:
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
