"You Know I'm No Good" is a song written and performed by English singer Amy Winehouse from her second and final studio album, Back to Black (2006). "You Know I'm No Good" was released as the second single from Back to Black on 8 January 2007. Originally recorded as a solo track, it was remixed with guest vocals from the Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. The original appeared on Winehouse's album, while the version with Ghostface Killah appears on his album More Fish. On the recap of The Best Songs of 2007 by Entertainment Weekly magazine, this song ranked at number two.{{cite magazine| url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20162677_20164082_20166984_2,00.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071229014819/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20162677_20164082_20166984_2,00.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=29 December 2007 | magazine=Entertainment Weekly | title=The 10 best songs of 2007 – Alicia Keys–2–Best & Worst 2007–Music–The Best & Worst of 2007–Entertainment Weekly}}

Music video

The music video, directed by Phil Griffin (who also directed the video for her previous hit "Rehab"), was released to music channels in late November 2006. The video features Winehouse in numerous settings including a bar, a bedroom, and a bathtub. The plot is based around Winehouse's fictional character's relationship with the male character in the video. Video was shot by director of photography Adam Frisch and the sets were built at 3 Mills Studios in East London.

The video premiered on VH1 during the weekend of 3 March 2007. Following its VH1 premiere, it was placed on MTV's Big 10 rotation as of 5 March 2007 and was premiered on TRL the same day. The song was heard on a sneak preview of AMC's original series Mad Men.

Release

The single was released in the UK on 8 January 2007. The track made it onto BBC Radio 1's A-list playlist. A UK edit of the remix featuring Ghostface Killah was also sent to radio, and to download services, and the original full-length US version, featuring Ghostface Killah name-checking Kelly Clarkson amongst others, also received airplay in the United States, where it was added to numerous Rhythmic radio stations.

Following Winehouse's success at the 50th Grammy Awards, the song was re-released in the US in mid-February 2008.[https://web.archive.org/web/20080225085059/http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003713776 Flo Rida Makes It Nine Straight Atop Hot 100]

A documentary film based on the life and death of Winehouse was released, Amy (2015) and a performance of Winehouse performing You Know I'm No Good at 45th at Night, in 2007 was featured.

Reception

Critical response to the single was positive. For the week of 16 January 2007, the track was chosen as the Single of the Week on the US iTunes Store as a free download. Newsweek also chose the song as its Pick of the Week for 15 January of the same year.No byline (2007-01-15), "THE LIST". Newsweek. 149 (3):68 Billboard found that the track—"in original form—could be no better"; however, it acknowledged that the Ghostface Killah remix added a "ferocious discordant sputter at the midsection."Taylor, Chuck (2007-03-17), "You Know I'm No Good". Billboard. 119 (11): 52 People magazine called the track "instantly memorable."Arnold, Chuck (2007-11-26), "Amy Winehouse". People. 68 (22):48

Prior to this, Winehouse had not seen any success in the US, as her debut album Frank was not released there until November 2007. On the Billboard Hot 100, "You Know I'm No Good" debuted at number 91 spot ahead of "Rehab", which also debuted on the chart the same week.Katie Hasty, [http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1053626/fergie-scores-second-glamorous-week-at-no-1 "Fergie Scores Second 'Glamorous' Week At No. 1"], Billboard.com, 22 March 2007. The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number 18 for the week ending 14 January 2007 in an excellent week for Winehouse that saw Back to Black achieve a new UK peak of number one, previous single "Rehab" return to the UK top 20, and Frank re-enter the UK chart at number 62 more than three years after its first release. To date, the single, which spent a total of 11 consecutive weeks on the UK Singles Chart, has sold 53,272 copies in the UK.

Winehouse performed the song at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony while in London, along with her hit single "Rehab". The performance was broadcast internationally via satellite. The song's performance on the awards ceremony subsequently led to an increase in digital downloads, notably on iTunes, where the song re-entered the Top Songs chart at number 55 in the United States. This resulted in a new peak for the song on the Billboard Hot 100, of number 77, one spot ahead of its previous peak.

Arctic Monkeys performed a cover of the song on their 2007 tour.Eliscu, Jenny (2007-06-14), [https://web.archive.org/web/20070603161220/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/amy_winehouse_back_in_black_rehab_married_soul_beehive_diva "The Diva and Her Demons"]. Rolling Stone. (1028):58–69 Retrieved 14 December 2007

A remix by Ghostface Killah appears on the reissue of Back to Black, featuring one verse by Ghostface, and a second remix, featuring more Ghostface verses, appears on his album More Fish.

English actor Roger Moore jokingly said he had no idea why Winehouse chose to include him in the lyrics, unless she wanted a word that rhymed with "door", or could not find one that rhymed with "Connery".{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/starsandstories/3561124/Roger-Moore-Im-the-worst-Bond-apparently.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London | title=Roger Moore: I'm the worst Bond, apparently | first=Bryony |last=Gordon | author-link=Bryony Gordon | date=23 September 2008 |access-date=6 April 2012 |url-access=subscription}}

Following her death, the song re-entered the UK Singles Chart at number 37.
