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:

—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
