What it is
"Hand in My Pocket" is a song by Alanis Morissette, co-written and produced by Glen Ballard, from her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, released as its second single. Morissette said she wrote it by jotting down dichotomies, reflecting her belief that people are many things and often feel many emotions at once. Songfacts describes it as a Zen-like song about staying composed in a chaotic world.
