"Reasons I Drink" was the first taste of Such Pretty Forks in the Road, Alanis Morissette's ninth studio album, arriving as its lead single on Epiphany Records in December 2019, months before the album followed in 2020. She wrote it with Michael Farrell, who also plays piano on it.
Alex Hope produced it and handles guitar and synthesizer, with Victor Indrizzo on drums and Tyler Last on bass, while Farrell and Hope add backing vocals behind Morissette's lead. She gave it its first live airing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon just days after the single came out.
