When "You Oughta Know" came out, it was a huge success for Alanis Morissette. It was the first single from her album Jagged Little Pill, and it soared to number one on the alternative charts. The song also received two Grammy Awards.

The track has been covered by several other artists, including Beyonce. In fact, "You Oughta Know" has become one of the most famous breakup songs in the history of popular music. Many people believe that the song is about her ex-boyfriend Dave Coulier, who played Uncle Joey on Full House. However, he recently clarified that he wasn't the subject of the song.

"You Oughta Know" was originally released as the lead single from Alanis Morissette's third album Jagged Little Pill in 1995. The album sold over 16 million copies in the United States. As such, it was the biggest-selling record of the 1990s.

"You Oughta Know" also received positive reviews. For example, it reached the top 10 on several US charts, including the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, the song was the best-selling song of the year in Canada, where it topped the country's national chart.

"You Oughta Know" is an incredibly emotional song about a breakup. It is about the feelings of heartbreak and revenge. At the same time, the lyrics tell of a need to share suffering with others.

In the past, Alanis Morissette has been hesitant to talk about the song's inspiration. She has reportedly said in the HBO documentary Jagged that the song is not about Coulier.
