(The eligibility rules for the Hot 100 were changed midway through the single's chart run.) "Thank U" is Morissette's most commercially successful post- Jagged Little Pill single. Hot 100 Airplay chart almost immediately and helped the song peak at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100 this was strong, but not as successful as the multiple hits from Jagged Little Pill (1995), Morissette's previous album. The excitement generated sent the single to number two on the U.S. The song uses a simple chord progression alternating between a tonic C major chord, dominant G major chord, and the subdominant F major chord. It is written in common time and moves at a moderate tempo of 80 beats per minute. "Thank U" is a pop rock song composed in the key of C major. The lyrics, such as "thank you terror" and "thank you frailty," lend the song a sense lyrical reflection on cynicism, despair, personal triumph and hope.

The song expresses the heartfelt gratitude which she felt at the time. Morissette wrote "Thank U" after returning from a trip to India in 1997.
