The instrumental version of “You Oughta Know” was featured in the fifth episode ofBridgertonseason 2. Viewers may remember it as the song that played out while Anthony sits in a bathtub, contemplating his future marriage. Meanwhile, Kate grabs rides her horse to clear her head and figure out her feelings for Anthony.
“Duty to rank and title. Fidelity to one’s family name. It demands both utter obedience and total sacrifice,” Lady Whistledown says as the song plays. “But what happens when such duty is in conflict with the heart’s true desire? Why, then, there is the potential for a considerable scandal, indeed. The only question is will the parties in question heed my warning? Or is it already too late to turn back to duty and away from desire?”
Lyrics were removed from the episode, asBridgerton’scontemporary music selections are exclusively instrumental. But in the new video featuring Morissette, her lyrics echo Kate and Anthony’s love. “And I’m here, to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away,” she sings. “It’s not fair, to deny me/ Of the cross I bear that you gave to me. You, you, you oughta know.”
“You Oughta Know” won the 1996 Grammy for best rock song and best female rock vocal performance.
“The show is a re-imagining. It’s a twist on the period pieces we’re all used to seeing. So, I knew that same modern lens that I was examining everything else through had to go for the music as well,” series creator Chris Van Dusen told PEOPLE recently of how the use of pop songs came to be.
Season 2 ofBridgertonis now streaming on Netflix. The series has been renewed for a third and fourth season.
