=== 2000–2007: ''Under Rug Swept'' and ''So-Called Chaos'' ===
In 2001, Morissette was featured with [[Stephanie McKay]] on the [[Tricky (musician)|Tricky]] song "Excess", which is on <!--This "his" refers to Tricky, not Morissette-->his album ''[[Blowback (album)|Blowback]]''. Morissette released her fifth studio album, ''[[Under Rug Swept]]'', in February 2002. For the first time in her career, she took on the role of sole writer and producer of an album. Her band, comprising [[Pedestrian (band)|Joel Shearer]], Nick Lashley, Chris Chaney, and Gary Novak, played the majority of the instruments; additional contributions came from [[Eric Avery]], [[Dean DeLeo]], [[Flea (musician)|Flea]], and [[Meshell Ndegeocello]].

''Under Rug Swept'' debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, eventually going platinum in Canada and selling one million copies in the U.S.<ref name="CRIA" /><ref name="AskBillboard">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/pro/ask-billboard-taylor-swift-the-script-alanis-morissette/|title= Ask Billboard: Taylor Swift, The Script, Alanis Morissette|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=April 19, 2022|date=November 12, 2010}}</ref> It produced the hit single "[[Hands Clean]]", which topped the [[Canadian Singles Chart]] and received substantial radio play; for her work on "Hands Clean" and "[[So Unsexy]]", Morissette won a [[Juno Award for Producer of the Year]].<ref>[http://theenvelope.latimes.com/extras/lostmind/year/2002/2002junob.htm "2002 33rd Juno Awards"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070106204914/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/extras/lostmind/year/2002/2002junob.htm |date=January 6, 2007 }}. ''Los Angeles Times.''</ref> A second single, "[[Precious Illusions]]", was released, but it did not garner significant success outside Canada or U.S. hot AC radio.

Later in 2002, Morissette released the combination package ''[[Feast on Scraps]]'', which includes a DVD of live concert and backstage documentary footage directed by her and a CD containing eight previously unreleased songs from the ''Under Rug Swept'' recording sessions. Preceded by the single "Simple Together", it sold roughly 70,000 copies in the U.S. and was nominated for a [[Juno Award for Music DVD of the Year]].<ref name="AskBillboard"/><ref>[http://theenvelope.latimes.com/extras/lostmind/year/2003/2003juno.htm "2003 34th Juno Awards"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060519092819/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/extras/lostmind/year/2003/2003juno.htm |date=May 19, 2006 }}.

Morissette hosted the [[Juno Awards of 2004]] dressed in a bathrobe, which she took off to reveal a flesh-colored bodysuit, a response to the era of [[censorship]] in the U.S. caused by [[Janet Jackson]]'s breast-flash incident during the [[Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show]].<ref name="CP-Apr2004" /> Morissette released her sixth studio album, ''[[So-Called Chaos]]'', in May 2004.<ref name="Simonot"/> She wrote the songs on her own again, and co-produced the album with [[Tim Thorney]] and pop music producer [[John Shanks]]. The album debuted at number five on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart to generally mixed critical reviews, and it became Morissette's lowest seller in the U.S. and was her first album not to top the chart.<ref name="AskBillboard"/> The lead single, "[[Everything (Alanis Morissette song)|Everything]]", achieved major success on [[Adult Top 40]] radio in America and was moderately popular elsewhere, particularly in Canada, although it failed to reach the top 40 on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]]. Because the first line of the song includes the word "asshole", American radio stations refused to play it, and the single version was changed to include the word "nightmare" instead.<ref name="CP-Apr2004">[https://web.archive.org/web/20050312125231/http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/mini/CTVNews/1081193845483_76603045?s_name=junos2004&no_ads=y.

Morissette embarked on a U.S. summer tour with long-time friends and fellow Canadians [[Barenaked Ladies]], working with the non-profit environmental organization [[Reverb (non-profit)|Reverb]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reverbrock.org/site/ |title=R E V E R B &#124; |publisher=Reverbrock.org |access-date=February 18, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100126213006/http://www.reverbrock.org/site/ |archive-date=January 26, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

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. The limited availability led to a dispute between Maverick Records and [[HMV]] Canada, who retaliated by removing Morissette's other albums from sale for the duration of Starbucks's exclusive six-week sale.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4095358.stm "Morissette in Starbucks album row"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070905160909/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4095358.stm |date=September 5, 2007 }}.

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. The accompanying YouTube-hosted video, in which she dances provocatively with a group of men and hits the ones who act as if attempting to touch her breasts, had received 16,465,653 views as of February 15, 2009.<ref name="Undercover">The Celebrity Truth.

Morissette performed at a gig for [[The Nightwatchman]], a.k.a. [[Tom Morello]] of [[Rage Against the Machine]] and [[Audioslave]], at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles in April 2007. The following June, she performed "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" and "[[O Canada]]", the American and Canadian [[national anthem]]s, in Game 4 of the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] between the [[Ottawa Senators]] and the [[Anaheim Ducks]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]].<ref name="Macleans-Jun2007">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071007150927/http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=e060137A "Alanis Morissette to sing national anthems at Game 4 of Stanley Cup final"].
