In 1992, she released her second album, ''[[Now Is the Time]]'', a [[Sentimental ballad|ballad]]-driven record that featured less glitzy production than ''Alanis'' and contained more thoughtful lyrics.<ref name="PeopleintheNews" /> Morissette wrote the songs with the album's producer, Leslie Howe, and Serge Côté.

In 1993, Morissette's publisher Leeds Levy at MCA Music Publishing introduced her to manager Scott Welch.<ref name="hitquarters.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_SWelch.html |title=Interview With Scott Welch |publisher=[[HitQuarters]] |date=August 6, 2002 |access-date=April 10, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609212424/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview%2Fopar%2Fintrview_SWelch.html |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Welch told [[HitQuarters]] he was impressed by her "spectacular voice", her character and her lyrics. At the time she was still living at home with her parents. Together they decided it would be best for her career to move to Toronto and start writing with other people.<ref name="hitquarters.com"/> After graduating from high school, Morissette moved from Ottawa to [[Toronto]].<ref name="PeopleintheNews" /> Her publisher funded part of her development and she spent her time there composing and rehearsing with a number of other musicians, looking to find good chemistry with a potential songwriting partner for her next album.  Although a number of songs came out of these sessions, none would make an album cut and no lasting partnerships were formed. In a subsequent move to Los Angeles, however, she met producer and songwriter [[Glen Ballard]], who believed in her talent enough to let her use his studio; their partnership was a stellar songwriting match, with Ballard supporting Alanis' sound rather than trying to shape or mold it to his own tastes.<ref name="PeopleintheNews" /><ref name="hitquarters.com"/> In her newfound freeness of creative spirit, the duo wrote and recorded Morissette's first internationally released album, ''[[Jagged Little Pill]]'', and by the spring of 1995, she had signed a deal with Maverick Records. In the same year she learned how to play guitar. According to manager Welch, every label they approached, apart from Maverick, declined to sign Morissette.<ref name="hitquarters.com"/>

Maverick Records released ''Jagged Little Pill'' internationally in June 1995. The album was expected only to sell enough for Morissette to make a follow-up, but the situation improved quickly when [[KROQ-FM]], an influential Los Angeles [[modern rock]] radio station, began playing "[[You Oughta Know]]", the album's first single, featuring [[Flea (musician)|Flea]] and [[Dave Navarro]] from the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]].<ref name="SongwriterUniverseMagazine">{{cite news | last=Kawashima | first=Dale | url=http://www.songwriteruniverse.com/alanis.html | title=Great Publishing Story: John Alexander & Alanis Morissette | work=Songwriter Universe Magazine | access-date=June 11, 2010 | archive-date=June 15, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090615034754/http://www.songwriteruniverse.com/alanis.html | url-status=live }}</ref> The song instantly garnered attention for its scathing, explicit lyrics,<ref name="PeopleintheNews" /> and a subsequent music video went into heavy rotation on MTV and [[MuchMusic]].

Morissette described the song as being written out of "devastation", reflecting a range of emotions that women often feel but are told to suppress, such as anger and sadness.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cornish |first=Natalie |date=October 4, 2019 |title=Alanis Morissette Addresses Rumors "You Oughta Know" Is About Ex Dave Coulier |url=https://www.eonline.com/news/1100258/alanis-morissette-addresses-rumors-you-oughta-know-is-about-ex-dave-coulier |access-date=September 2, 2024 |website=E!

After the success of "[[You Oughta Know]]", the album's other hits helped send ''Jagged Little Pill'' to the top of the charts.

Morissette contributed vocals to four tracks on [[Jonathan Elias]]'s project ''[[The Prayer Cycle]]'', which was released in 1999, where she paid homage to her roots by singing in Hungarian on "Mercy" and "Faith", and in French on "Hope" and "Innocence". The same year, she released the live acoustic album ''[[Alanis Unplugged]]'', which was recorded during her appearance on the television show ''[[MTV Unplugged]]''. It featured tracks from her previous two albums alongside four new songs, including "[[King of Pain]]" (a cover of [[The Police]] song) and "No Pressure over Cappuccino", which Morissette wrote with her main guitar player, Nick Lashley. The recording of the ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'' track "[[That I Would Be Good]]", released as a single, became a minor hit on [[hot adult contemporary]] radio in America.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''Jagged Little Pill'' (1995), Morissette released a studio [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic]] version, ''[[Jagged Little Pill Acoustic]]'', in June 2005. The album was released exclusively through [[Starbucks]]' [[Hear Music]] retail concept through their coffee shops for a six-week run.

Morissette released the [[greatest hits album]] ''[[Alanis Morissette: The Collection]]'' in late 2005. The lead single and only new track, a cover of [[Seal (musician)|Seal]]'s "[[Crazy (Seal song)|Crazy]]", was an Adult Top 40 and dance hit in the U.S., but achieved only minimal chart success elsewhere. A limited edition of ''The Collection'' features a DVD including a documentary with videos of two unreleased songs from Morissette's 1996 Can't Not Tour: "King of Intimidation" and "Can't Not". (A reworked version of "Can't Not" had also appeared on ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie''.) The DVD also includes a ninety-second clip of the unreleased video for the single "[[Joining You]]". {{as of|2010|November|}}, ''The Collection'' had sold 373,000 copies in the U.S., according to [[Nielsen SoundScan]].<ref name="AskBillboard"/> That same year, Morissette contributed the song "[[Wunderkind (song)|Wunderkind]]" to the soundtrack of the film ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]'', and she was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award]] for [[Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song|Best Original Song]].<ref name="RS-Jan2006">Baltin, Steve.

2006 marked the first year in Morissette's musical career without a single concert appearance showcasing her own songs, with the exception of an appearance on ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' in January when she performed "Wunderkind".

On April 1, 2007, Morissette released a tongue-in-cheek cover of [[The Black Eyed Peas]]'s selection "[[My Humps]]", which she recorded in a slow, mournful voice, accompanied only by a piano.
