Despite starting in the music industry at the age of 15, Meredith was 38 when she released "Bitch," her debut single. The song explores the complexities of being a woman, and how one label cannot define her.
"Bitch" is one of those borderline offensive words, which created some problems for radio stations playing this song. While Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back" proved that it was possible to have a hit song with "Bitch" in the title, some radio stations still refused to mention this by its name, instead referring to it as "a song by Meredith Brooks."
Brooks says the song is about "re-education and realignment," adding, "until women integrate their shadow selves they can't become whole."
