That I Would Be Good

An acoustic live version of the song was recorded during a session for MTV Unplugged on September 18, 1999. It was released as a single for the album Alanis Unplugged on February 8, 2000.

The lyrics relate Morissette's intimate feelings being judged, insecurity and self-doubt.
