Girl Who Got Away

Dido revealed shortly after the release of Safe Trip Home that she had been in the studio recording new material, slated for inclusion on her fourth studio album. In July 2009, Dido revealed that the album would have an electronic approach, in an attempt to take it in a totally different direction to her previous albums.{{cite web|url=http://www.didomusic.com/xx/news_and_diary/news/a_catchup_with_dido_part_1 |title=A catch-up with Dido, part 1 |publisher=Didomusic.com |date=7 October 2009 |access-date=24 January 2011}} In September 2010, Dido unveiled her brand new single, "Everything to Lose", and the track was released via digital download,{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00406J538 |title=Everything To Lose: Dido: Amazon.co.uk: MP3 Downloads |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |access-date=24 January 2011}} having previously appeared on the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack. In January 2011, Dido unveiled a second brand new track, "If I Rise", teaming up with producer A.R. Rahman for the track, for which an official music video was released.{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.hotklix.com/link/Entertainment/Regional-Movies/A-R-Rahman-and-Dido-together-for-a-music-video-KOLLY-TALK |title=A.R.Rahman and Dido together for a music video |work=The Times of India |access-date=12 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712222449/http://timesofindia.hotklix.com/link/Entertainment/Regional-Movies/A-R-Rahman-and-Dido-together-for-a-music-video-KOLLY-TALK |archive-date=12 July 2011 }}

Dido announced via her official website that the recording of the album had taken place in both London and California, and that some of the material had been recorded in her own hotel room, with a keyboard and a microphone. She also described the album as a "big, fun, electronic extravaganza".

The opening track and lead single "No Freedom" opens with plaintive acoustic guitar and was penned with Rick Nowels, who previously wrote the major hit "White Flag" (2003). Guitars strum gently, the tempo is mid-pace, and Dido informs her man that their relationship cannot flourish unless she is free to wander. On the title track, synthesizer chords puff gentle syncopations as Dido wishes she could be "the girl who got away",{{cite news|title=Albums by Dido, OneRepublic, Thompson Square, Tomasz Stanko|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/26/arts/music/albums-by-dido-onerepublic-thompson-square-tomasz-stanko.html?_r=0|access-date=25 October 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=25 March 2013}} shifting and twirling in a slow dance through electronic caresses and the subtlest touches of strings. In the chorus, she sings, "I wanna move with the seasons/And go with the flow". Dido finds guests to keep her current, like Kendrick Lamar, whose rap tears through the conciliatory "Let Us Move On", a spooked trip hop song. The looping intro and muted snares on "Blackbird" are leveled off by her detached vocal and reassuringly familiar lyrics about the darker side of love ("Why do I bring you love, when all you give me back is pain?", she sings). While "End of Night", co-written by Greg Kurstin, has a chorus that echoes out through a flittering line of synth thrills, with Kurstin sending electropop keyboards percolating through the bitter kiss-off to a past lover.

"Sitting on the Roof of the World" carried by folky guitar picking, reflects on sudden pop success and "not knowing how I got there or how to leave," insisting that she'd rather just "fit in" to everyday life. It offers a sobering moment of reflection, and a host of possible allusions to Dido's experiences within the music industry: "Everyone says I was lucky to have got there/ as not many can/ I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it now and then." "Love to Blame" features "finger-clicking brass" and it includes the line "there's time enough for new things yet," over "pleasingly wobbly low end", a smart instrumental section and all manner of odd bleeping effects. "Go Dreaming", which vows to rise above bullying, moves with a rubbery bassline pushing the track forward as it falls deeper into a well of electronica., while "Happy New Year" features descending bass line and trip hop backbeat, with the singer missing an ex who may be absent or dead, and "Loveless Heart" is epitomised by a vast, sweeping scope, and talks about creeping up and under the defences we’ve put around our feelings, all in an effort to cope in a hectic, modern world. And in "Day Before We Went to War," with keyboards from Brian Eno, Dido sets personal moping aside to come up with a genuine enigma: an eerily pretty vision of mass destruction.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 59 based on 12 reviews.{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/girl-who-got-away/dido|title=Reviews for Girl Who Got Away by Dido – Metacritic|publisher=Metacritic|access-date=2 December 2014}} Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 4 (out of 5 stars), writing that, "while her last album, Safe Trip Home, was tailored for domesticity, Girl Who Got Away is a soundtrack for a night out," praising Dido for "adapting to her gently shifting surroundings, feeling perfectly at home in this neon-streaked production, savouring how it swings from understated but insistent beats to a soft acoustic bed. Perhaps it's lifestyle music, designed to reflect the aspirations and desires of her audience, but it's impeccably executed and slyly seductive lifestyle music." Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the album four out of five stars praising the "pleasantly folky midtempo melody and sleepy vocal" as well as the album's "unexpected and – whisper it – dancier direction".{{cite news|title=Dido: 'Girl Who Got Away' – Album review|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/review/a462723/dido-girl-who-got-away-album-review.html|access-date=25 October 2013|newspaper=Digital Spy|date=2 March 2013}} Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian called "a Dido album that doesn't induce a desire to listen to something else," calling it "surprisingly interesting."

Laurence Green of musicOMH wrote that, "As an album, it doesn't break any new ground --it doesn't try to. What it does do though is sweep itself up in a groundswell of beautiful, heart-tugging nostalgia so strong it's as if 2003 lies just beyond the window again, shimmering in the haze of the morning dew." Nick Levine of BBC Music gave a favourable review, writing that, "Admittedly, the album contains the odd soporific song like No Freedom, but these turns are outweighed by tracks with a strong tune or an unexpected hint of sadness. Certainly, there's enough going on here to make the naysayers feel guilty for blurting out that b-word." Andy Johnson of PopMatters gave the album 4 (out of 10 stars), writing that Dido's new moves on the album, "tend to feel half-baked, under-exploited or, in the case of Kendrick Lamar's appearance on 'Let Us Move On', just a bit hackneyed." For Andy Gill of The Independent, "it ticks along unremarkably on smudges of synthesiser and shuffling drum programmes, augmented by acoustic guitar or synthetic brass stabs."

Girl Who Got Away made it into the top 5 of seven album charts, being Dido's fourth album to do so in the United Kingdom. On the UK Albums Chart, the album debuted at number 5, becoming her fourth top-five album, but her lowest charting album (all of her previous albums, peaked inside the top-three). In France, the album charted higher, debuting and peaking at number 3, matching the same position of her previous album, Safe Trip Home, (2008). In Germany, the album debuted and peaked at number 2, her highest since Life for Rent, (2003).{{citation needed|date=March 2020}} The album also peaked at number 2 on the Swiss Albums Chart, however it broke her strike of consecutive number-one albums (with Life for Rent and Safe Trip Home), becoming her only album to not reach the number-one position, alongside her debut album, No Angel, (1999). Nevertheless, the album peaked at number 1 in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Romandie).

In Australia, the album only managed to peak at number 12, becoming her only album to miss the top ten. In Canada, it peaked at number 10, becoming her fourth consecutive top-ten album, but also her lowest charting album. In the United States, the album only peaked at number 32, becoming her first album to miss the top-twenty and, subsequently, her lowest charting album.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/300906/dido/chart?f=305|title=Dido : Chart Placings|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2 December 2014}}
