"Despite the relatively low sales of Morissette's previous two albums, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" and "MTV Unplugged" (1999), compared to those of her international debut album, "Jagged Little Pill" (1995), Maverick Records considered her a strong commercial asset and were concerned that she would leave because of the disputes and release the album on another label.
В своем обращении к юридической комиссии сената США Аланис заявила:Несмотря на достаточно низкие продажи предыдущих двух альбомов, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" и "Alanis Unplugged" (по сравнению с "Jagged Little Pill", проданным более 33 млн копий по всему миру), Maverick считали Мориссетт сильным игроком.
