"Me and a Gun" was the first single released from the Tori Amos LP, Little Earthquakes, released on October 21, 1991 in the United Kingdom, as a CD single, 7" and 12". It was also released in Germany. The song is three minutes and forty-four seconds long. It was inspired by a rape that occurred in LA when Amos was 21. After she performed at a bar, a patron asked her if he could have a ride home. She obliged, and he raped her at knifepoint (many journalists mistakenly state she was raped at gunpoint, possibly due to the song's title).
