* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: ''Shameika''. Not just the song itself, but the backstory behind it. Apple wrote it about an older girl in primary school who came over to her while she was being excluded by other girls at lunch, and told her she 'had potential'. Although the song says 'I'll never see her again', Apple and Shameika were in fact reunited via a former teacher, and even teamed up for a collaboration. [[https://pitchfork.com/features/article/fiona-apple-shameika-fetch-the-bolt-cutters-interview/ This article]] explains Shameika's side of the story in detail.

[[https://pitchfork.com/features/article/fiona-apple-shameika-fetch-the-bolt-cutters-interview/ This article]] explains Shameika's side of the story in detail. Apple told one website:
--> When I first wrote the song, I was not entirely convinced she existed. Because I have this one memory and it’s a very big memory for me. But maybe I created this person. My third-grade teacher, Linda Kunhart, was my favorite teacher. I’ve kept in touch with her over the years. She read the New Yorker article, and the next day, she sent me an email saying, “I heard you wrote about Shameika. I can see her …” She sent me a picture of her.
