Alanis Morissette 2007
 Morissette performed at a gig for The Nightwatchman, a.k.a. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, at the Hotel Caf? in Los Angeles on April 24, 2007. There, she said that she and producer Guy Sigsworth had been sequestered in London and L.A. over the last few months writing a bevy of new songs. Accompanied by Sigsworth on piano, Morissette played a new song, Not as We.[citation needed]
On September 14, 2007, an interview with Guy Sigsworth, who is collaborating/co-producing Alanis' new album, was posted on Alanis' official myspace describing the forthcoming album. Throughout the interview it was revealed that 25 songs were written for the album and although 13 have been chosen for the final cut, 8 more are in the process of being written.[citation needed]
Underneath is the second song known to be written and recorded during the 2007 sessions. The song had an unofficial premiere on September 15, 2007 at The Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, at the Elevate Film Festival. The purpose of the festival was to create documentaries, music videos, narratives and shorts - regarding subjects to raise the level of human consciousness on the earth.
Morissette submitted her song, and then (like all other 14 videos) had the song's video written, directed, shot and edited in two days. The music video, while not having too much of a known plot - features Morissette and a few other characters around a pool, and swimming. The key symbol in the video tends to be water. Morissette also walks around, or lays down as she sings - either into or off camera. The song and video was met by a very receptive crowd. [citation needed] It is unknown whether this song will serve as an official single, and if so - if this video will be used or not. Morissette is expected to participate in an upcoming tour with Matchbox Twenty and Mute Math.
