Considering the series' partially 1990s-based setting, Morissette is perhaps the best choice to take on “No Return”. Morissette’s 1995 albumJagged Little Pillis one of the most seminal albums of the decade. Her work is known for its rough edges and, well,jagged honesty, which fits in incredibly well with the themes of the series.
Of her take on the song Morissette said:
“I love the original version of ‘No Return,’ It’s just a perfect song. It was a little daunting to be asked to reinterpret it but I see parallels betweenYellowjacketsand my perspective while songwriting: the sheer intensity, that going for the jugular with no fear around going for the profane. I’ve strived my entire career to support the empowerment of women and sensitives, and see the world through the female lens, and what’s so wonderful about this show is that each character is allowed to be dynamic and complex as opposed to oversimplified, reduced versions of women. I feel honoured to be a part of the legacy ofYellowjackets.”
