"Ain't My Bitch" gained media attention and notoriety due to its title. Vocalist/lyricist James Hetfield later explained that the 'bitch' in the song does not refer to a woman, but acts as a metaphor for a problem. Under this interpretation, the song takes on a decidedly different theme, dealing with a person who harbors no concern for other people's problems.

Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett used a slide for the guitar solo, a first for Metallica and one of the many musical departures found on Load. Upon the album's release in June 1996, "Ain't My Bitch" quickly became a staple in the band's live set, featured regularly during their Poor Touring Me world tour. The song was last played in 1998, and as of 2019, has yet to since be included in the band's setlist rotation.

The song's demo was simply named "Bitch" and was recorded on April 6, 1995.

«Ain't My Bitch» es la primera canción del sexto disco de Metallica, Load. La canción ganó bastante fama al editarse como sencillo a causa de su título (traducción: "No es mi puta"). James Hetfield, vocalista y autor de las letras, explicó que 'Bitch' no se refiere a ninguna mujer en particular, sino que es una metáfora de un problema. Bajo esta interpretación del tema de la canción, ésta puede tratar de una persona que no se da cuenta de los problemas de los demás.
