‘Hands Clean’ Wasn’t Written For Revenge

Derek Tse of the Toronto Sun spoke with Alanis Morissette about her new song ‘Hands Clean’ and whether she considered the song about her teenage romance with an older man was written with a vendetta in mind. Alanis said, “It’s certainly not written for the sake of revenge of any sort. I think if it were written for the sake of revenge, I’d be disclosing who it was about, and some of the finer details about it. I think there’s a distinct difference between secrecy and privacy, and I respect privacy, but I choose not to be secretive in my life.”
