Ballard also declared to Rolling Stone that, "I just connected with her as a person, and, almost parenthetically, it was like 'Wow, you're 19?' She was so intelligent and ready to take a chance on doing something that might have no commercial application. According to Ballard, the connection was "instant", and within 30 minutes of meeting each other they had begun experimenting with different sounds in Ballard's home studio in San Fernando Valley, California. Ballard met Morissette on March 8, 1994, after his publishing company matched them up. "Hand in My Pocket" was written by Morissette and Glen Ballard. According to Welch, every label they had approached had passed on Morissette apart from Maverick. The two wrote and recorded Morissette's first internationally released album, Jagged Little Pill, and by the spring of 1995, she had signed a deal with Maverick Records. Her publisher funded part of her development and when she met producer and songwriter Glen Ballard, he believed in her talent enough to let her use his studio. Īfter graduating from high school, Morissette moved from Ottawa to Toronto. Together they decided it would be best for her career to move to Toronto and start writing with other people. At the time she was still living with her parents. Welch told HitQuarters he was impressed by her "spectacular voice", her character and her lyrics.
In 1993, Morissette's publisher Leeds Levy at MCA Music Publishing introduced her to manager Scott Welch. With her two-album deal with MCA Records Canada complete, Morissette was left without a major label contract. This was followed by her second album, Now Is the Time, but it was a commercial failure, selling only a little more than half the copies of her first album. In 1991, MCA Records Canada released Morissette's debut studio album Alanis, which went Platinum in Canada. An accompanying music video was released for the single, featuring Morissette at a festival, driving her car in black and white form, which also received positive reviews. The song also reached the top 10 in New Zealand and Canada, where it was her first number-one single. The song became Morissette's second number-one hit on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. "Hand in My Pocket" also received substantial success through radio airplay in the US. "Hand in My Pocket" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who applauded Morissette's songwriting.
The song was written by Morissette and Glen Ballard and was released as the second single from the album on October 16, 1995, five months after the album release.
