 Alanis Morissette released Ironic in February 1996 as the third single from her third studio album, Jagged Little Pill. The lyrics present several situations that are described as “ironic”, but this has led to debate, with many people saying that the situations she describes aren’t ironic at all. But perhaps that makes it even more ironic!
