Alanis Morissette has released a reimagined version of the Yellowjackets‘ theme song, “No Return”. Morissette added a grunge flare to the song originally written by Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker. Her version appeared at the beginning of episode four.

“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 between YELLOWJACKETS and my perspective while songwriting: the sheer intensity, that going for the jugular with no fear around going for the profane,” said Morissette. “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 of YELLOWJACKETS.”

Yellowjackets shared a behind-the-scenes video of Morissette talking about the song.
