"So Pure" is a song written and produced by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard for Morissette's fourth album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998). It was released in Japan as the album's second single on March 10, 1999, and as the third single worldwide in June 1999. One line in the song, "supposed former infatuation junkie", inspired its album's title. A special "radio friendly remix" was featured on US promotional singles and was only commercially released on the Australian domestic single.

"So Pure" peaking outside the top 20 on the US Billboard Adult Top 40 and Top 40 Mainstream charts, but it did peak inside the top 20 in Canada. "So Pure" failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 and performed moderately in the United Kingdom, where it reached the top 40. In 2000, the song was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards but lost to Sheryl Crow's live version of "There Goes the Neighborhood", which original version was already nominated in the same category in 1999, but lost to "Uninvited" by Morissette.[2] The music video won the award for Best Video at 2000 Juno Awards.[citation needed]
