"Charlotte" came off Spit, Kittie's 1999 debut album, and the Canadian heavy metal band went somewhere dark for it: the song took its spark from Rites of Burial, a book about a serial killer by Tom Jackman and Troy Cole that Morgan Lander had read. It's nu metal with the lights off, and in 2000 it went out as the album's second single.
The band wrote it together, Garth Richardson produced and engineered, with Rob Nation also engineering, Andrew Grimo and Ben Kaplan as assistant producers and Chris Shaw mixing. Lisa Rubisch shot the video in Toronto, following an angel who crashes down and loses his wings, and MTV played it constantly. It reached No. 60 on the UK singles chart and remains the band's biggest hit.
