Hand in My Pocket is a defining alternative rock anthem by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, released on October 16, 1995, as the second single from her breakthrough album Jagged Little Pill. Co-written with Glen Ballard, the song captures the contradictions of youth and self-discovery through introspective lyrics and a dynamic harmonica solo performed by Morissette herself. The accompanying black-and-white music video, directed by Mark Kohr, features Morissette participating in a homecoming parade, embodying the song’s themes of individuality and resilience. The track achieved significant success, topping the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and reaching number one in Canada, solidifying Morissette’s status as a prominent voice in 1990s rock music.
