You Learn

You Learn is a song by Alanis Morissette, and was the seventh track (and the third of six singles) from her Jagged Little Pill CD. A music video, featuring a cart-wheeling, dread-locked Morissette, was created. The song would become one of Morissette's most enduring songs, appearing again on both of her acoustic CD's, as well as in nearly all of her concerts. Over time, the arrangement of the song has changed repeatedly (particularly parts of the chorus melody), but the lyrics, of course, have remained the same. Morissette has most recently performed it in her Diamond Wink tour for her Jagged Little Pill Acoustic album.

You Learn is also noteworthy for being the source of the title of Morissette's most popular CD. It refers not to drug use, but to the lessons of life being hard to accept ("Swallow it down, what a jagged little pill/ It feels so good swimming in your stomach"). The phrase is often mistaken for the title of the song.

In the song, the first glimpse of Morissette's insightful, new-age guru appears for the first time, speaks of the importance of poor decision making in life, explaining that every decision that people make will teach a valuable lesson. The chorus echoes the phrase 'You Learn' repeatedly, beginning the singer/songwriter's signature trend of lengthy repetition.
