Morissette 'was dying to write record'

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette wrote her new album between "being under the rock and wearing sweatpants".

The Canadian musician released her EP Havoc and Bright Lights Tuesday after a four-year musical hiatus.

Alanis was pregnant with her son Ever Imre in 2010 and was not in the mood to compose new songs.

"I was dying to write this record. I find there are ebbs and flows to the whole cycle of being under the rock and wearing sweatpants, and then coming out and putting 16-inch heels and glitter on and sharing the conversation-starting songs," she told MTV News.

"I wanted to write when I was pregnant, to be honest, but I was down for the count, on the couch, at 3 p.m. every day, so that wasn't going to happen. So I built a studio in my living room, and Guy Sigsworth, the producer, came over from London, and we wrote together. And my son was five-and-a-half months old, and I just breastfed, and he trumped everything, his needs were number one, and we wrote between those times."
