Despite the disappointing reaction to ''Y Kant Tori Read'', Amos still had to comply with her six-record contract with Atlantic Records, which, in 1989, wanted a new record by March 1990. The initial recordings were declined by the label, which Amos felt was because the album had not been properly presented.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Maril |first=Robert |title=Tori Amos' Track-by-Track Guide to 'Little Earthquakes' |date=December 18, 2009 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tori-amos-track-by-track-guide-to-little-earthquakes-20091218 |access-date=August 27, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130427215147/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tori-amos-track-by-track-guide-to-little-earthquakes-20091218 |archive-date=April 27, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> The album was reworked and expanded under the guidance of [[Doug Morris]] and the musical talents of [[Steve Caton]], [[Eric Rosse]], Will MacGregor, Carlo Nuccio, and Dan Nebenzal, resulting in ''[[Little Earthquakes]]'', an album recounting her religious upbringing, sexual awakening, struggle to establish her identity, and sexual assault.{{sfn|Collins|Speace|1995|p=5}} This album became her commercial and artistic breakthrough, entering the British charts in January 1992 at Number 15.{{sfn|Collins|Speace|1995|p=5}} ''Little Earthquakes'' was released in the United States in February 1992 and slowly but steadily began to attract listeners, gaining more attention with the video for the single "[[Silent All These Years]]".{{sfn|Collins|Speace|1995|p=5}}

Amos traveled to [[New Mexico]] with personal and professional partner [[Eric Rosse]] in 1993 to write and largely record her second solo record, ''[[Under the Pink]]''. The album was received with mostly favorable reviews and sold enough copies to chart at No. 12 on the ''Billboard 200'',<ref name="Billboard 200 p.1">{{cite magazine |title=Tori Amos: Billboard 200 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |page=1 |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/430284/tori%20amos/chart?f=305 |access-date=September 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160902111049/http://www.billboard.com/artist/430284/tori%20amos/chart?f=305 |archive-date=September 2, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> a significantly higher position than the preceding album's position at No. 54 on the same chart.<ref name="Billboard 200 p.2">{{cite magazine |title=Tori Amos: Billboard 200 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |page=2 |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/430284/tori%20amos/chart?page=1&f=305 |access-date=September 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160902111448/http://www.billboard.com/artist/430284/tori%20amos/chart?page=1&f=305 |archive-date=September 2, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> However, the album found its biggest success in the UK, debuting at number one upon release in February 1994.
