Alanis’ very grungy and on-brand version of the Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker written track, appeared in the show’s current second season most recent fourth episode.
“I love the original version of ‘No Return,’” Morissette said in a statement about her rendition of the song. “It’s just a perfect song. It was a little daunting to be asked to reinterpret it but I see parallels between 'Yellowjackets' and my perspective while songwriting: the sheer intensity, that going for the jugular with no fear around going for the profane.”
She continued, “I’ve strived my entire career to support the empowerment of women and sensitives, and see the world through the female lens, and what’s so wonderful about this show is that each character is allowed to be dynamic and complex as opposed to oversimplified, reduced versions of women. I feel honored to be a part of the legacy of 'Yellowjackets.'”
If you didn’t already know — Yellowjackets is a thriller drama about a teenage girls soccer team stranded in the woods after a plane crash and the events surrounding the survivors years later.
