Alanis Morissette's Ironic

For 90s kids, this catchy number might bring back many memories as it was highly popular back in the day, garnering praise from numerous contemporary music critics at the time. Released in February 1996, the song was a part of Morissette's widely acclaimed album, Jagged Little Pill.

An instant hit, the song was noted for its intriguing lyrics, igniting several discussions around its themes and meaning. However, following the 9/11 attacks, Clear Channel Communications flagged the song's lyrics as inappropriate.

Ironic was written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, who also produced the song. The acclaimed music video of the song was directed by French filmmaker and photographer Stéphane Sednaoui.
