"The Pill" is a storytelling-type song that follows a wife who is fed up with how often her husband has been getting her pregnant over the years. With the introduction of birth control into her life, she's now much happier because she can control this aspect of her life. In the song, Lynn sings:
Because of the song's blunt discussion of birth control—something that was seen as provocative in 1975—many country music radio stations refused to play it. Because of the ban from numerous radio stations, it stalled the song on the charts, making it peak at number five during a time when typically songs by Lynn were guaranteed to be in the top three.
Speaking to Playboy magazine, Lynn recounted that many doctors in rural counties thanked her for the song as it made more women aware of birth control's availability to them. This type of more liberal, feminist stance was a rarity for Lynn, who typically tried to remain politically neutral in her work.
