Carey described the project — recorded after long days in the studio while working on hits such as"Always Be My Baby" — as an outlet for herself during a period when she felt particularly constrained.Carey toldshe was inspired by bands such as Hole and Green Day at the time. She adopted an alter-ego, as she recalled in her book:"I was playing with the style of the breezy-grunge, punk-light white female singers who were popular at the time.
At the time, she recalls that there was some unease about her grunge lyrics."I honestly wanted to put the record out back then under, you know, the same pseudonym, just put it out and be like, you know whatever, let them discover that it's me," she toldCarey said she even did the album art — a cockroach and some scrawled lipstick. She remembers driving around, shouting lyrics to songs she wrote that nobody knew.
