"Joining You" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette from her fourth studio album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998). It was released as the album's second single on January 3, 1999. The song distinctly is composed of a verse and chorus in two distantly related keys: C minor and E minor, respectively.[citation needed] "Joining You" peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Music video

Footage was shot for a video, but a completed video was never released as Morissette felt the visuals did not work with the song. A clip from one of the treatments for the footage was later released on the DVD included on the limited edition of Morissette's compilation album, The Collection (2005).
