Alanis Morissette Puts a "Bridgerton" Twist on "You Oughta Know"

Alanis Morissette's biggest hit has been given the full "Bridgerton" [1] treatment. In a video released by Netflix on April 1, the music icon sings along to the instrumental version of "You Oughta Know" from "Bridgerton"'s season two soundtrack [2] with backup music by Kroma Strings and Duomo. We first heard the orchestral cover in episode five of the show's second season [3], but watching Morissette belt out the lyrics on top of the reimagined arrangement took our obsession to the next level.

In the music-video-style production, Morissette croons into a flower-covered microphone while surrounded by magnolia blooms similar to the ones featured in "Bridgerton"'s title sequence. About a third of the way through, clips begin playing of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) [4] putting their strong chemistry on display.

"You Oughta Know" is just one of the many contemporary tunes that gets a Regency-era upgrade in season two of "Bridgerton." [6] The show's latest episodes feature catchy string covers of other hits like Rihanna [7]'s "Diamonds," Harry Styles's "Sign of the Times," and Robyn's "Dancing on My Own," while the season one soundtrack [8] includes instrumental renditions of Ariana Grande [9]'s "Thank U, Next," Billie Eilish [10]'s "Bad Guy," Taylor Swift [11]'s "Wildest Dreams," and more. We can't wait to see which songs the show's music director chooses to transform for season three [12].
