"Rehab" is a song written and recorded by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, from her second and final studio album Back to Black (2006). Produced by Mark Ronson, the lyrics are autobiographical and address Winehouse's refusal to enter a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol. "Rehab" was released as the lead single from Back to Black in 2006, and it peaked at number 7 in the United Kingdom on its Singles Chart and number 9 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Winehouse's only top 10 hit in the US.

"Rehab" became an international critical and commercial success, and has been referred to as Winehouse's signature song.{{cite news|title= Amy Winehouse Dead at 27 |publisher= Mix 104.1.

The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Taking Back Sunday, Justin Timberlake, Fergie, and Kanye West.

Background

"Rehab" was produced by Mark Ronson and released as the album's lead single in 2006 in the UK. The song addresses Winehouse's refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre after her management team encouraged her to go. Ronson expanded on the songwriting process when interviewed by DJ Zane Lowe for the BBC Radio's Radio 1's Stories, in an episode broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on Monday 18 July 2011, 5 days before her death:

:I was walking down the street with Amy. We were in New York and we'd been working together for about a week and we were walking to some store. She wanted to buy a present for her boyfriend and she was telling me about a specific time in her life that was.... I feel bad, like, talking about a friend like this, but I think I've told this story enough times.... but she hit, like, a certain low and her dad came over to try and talk some sense into her. And she was like, "He tried to make me go to rehab and I was like, 'Pfft, no no no.'" And the first thing I was like, "ding ding ding ding ding." Like, I mean I'm supposed to be like, "How was that for you?" and all I'm like is, "We've got to go back to the studio."

Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father, confirms Ronson's story about the origins of the song in his biography, Amy, My Daughter (2012). He writes that Ronson and Winehouse inspired each other musically, adding that Amy had written that line in one of her notebooks years before and told him that she was planning to write a song about that day. After Ronson heard the line during his and Amy's conversation in New York, he suggested they turn it into a song. The book says that was the moment when the song "came to life".{{cite book|first= Mitch |last= Winehouse |year= 2012 |title= Amy, My Daughter |publisher= HarperCollins |page= 69}}

In the film Amy, director Asif Kapadia showed an interview with Mitch in which he explained that "he didn't believe [Winehouse] needed treatment [for her drug and alcohol addiction]". In an appearance on the British talk show Loose Women, Mitch clarified the comments he made in the film, saying that Kapadia misinterpreted what he actually said to Winehouse: "[...] I say that Amy didn't need to go to rehab, right? What I actually said was – referring to 2005 – Amy didn't need to go to rehab at that point. Later on was a different story altogether, which gives a totally, completely different meaning to what I said."{{cite magazine|first= Maitri |last= Suhas |title= Did Amy Winehouse's Dad Really Not Want Her to Go to Rehab?

Chart performance

Based solely on download sales, "Rehab" entered the UK Singles Chart at number nineteen and when the physical single was released the following week, it climbed to number seven, Winehouse's highest chart position at the time by more than 50 places. By 25 October, the album was approaching five-time platinum in the UK, making it the best-selling record of 2007.{{cite web|title= Amy Winehouse – I Told You I Was Trouble – Documentary & Live Concert DVD |website= I Like Music |date= 25 October 2007 |url= http://www.ilikemusic.com/urban/Amy_Winehouse_I_Told_You_I_Was_Trouble_Documentary-4205 |archive-date= 11 December 2007 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071211171639/http://www.ilikemusic.com/urban/Amy_Winehouse_I_Told_You_I_Was_Trouble_Documentary-4205}}

The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 91 on the 31 March 2007 chart without an official single release. Winehouse's current single at the time, "You Know I'm No Good", entered one spot above, at number 90, the same week.{{cite magazine|first= Katie |last= Hasty |title= Fergie Scores Second 'Glamorous' Week at No. 1 |magazine= Billboard |date= 22 March 2007 |access-date= 2 May 2014 |url= https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1053626/fergie-scores-second-glamorous-week-at-no-1}} After lingering in the bottom portions of the Hot 100 for several months, the song suddenly jumped 38 spots to number ten on the 23 June chart,{{cite magazine|first= Jonathan |last= Cohen |title= Rihanna's 'Umbrella' Reigns Again Atop Hot 100 |magazine= Billboard |date= 14 June 2007 |access-date= 14 June 2007 |url= https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1051539/rihannas-umbrella-reigns-again-atop-hot-100}} due to digital sales following Winehouse's live performance of the song on the MTV Movie Awards on 3 June 2007; sales of the official remix featuring rapper Jay-Z also had a small effect, helping it to peak in the 70s on the iTunes Top 100 in the US. After a change of rules in the UK allowing all digital downloads to be counted for the singles chart, "Rehab" re-entered the chart at number 20 for the week ending 13 January 2007, whilst "You Know I'm No Good" occupied the number 40 spot as a new entry on downloads alone.

The Ronson-produced song also topped at the top ten in more than 10 countries including Canada, Spain, Denmark, and Israel, peaking at number one in Norway and Hungary. It reached the top 20 in France, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Finland, attaining a peak position of number 23 on the European Hot 100 Singles.

Between October 2006 and June 2007, the single spent 34 consecutive weeks in the official UK top 75 and has re-entered it again several times since, most recently at number 29 on 31 July 2011 in the wake of the singer's death, giving it a current total of 59 weeks in the top 75, making it the joint 10th longest runner of all time, and 76 in the top 100.

It also became her first top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number nine. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Rehab" platinum on 11 February 2010 for sales of over 1 million copies.{{cite web|title= Gold & Platinum Searchable Database – "Rehab" |publisher= Recording Industry Association of America |access-date= 2 May 2014 |url= https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?artist=%22Rehab%22 |url-status= dead |archive-date= 11 April 2013 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130411181035/http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?artist=%22Rehab%22}} The song was an enduring hit throughout 2007; with UK sales of 131,415 in 2007 alone, it finished the year as the UK's fifth-sixth biggest-selling single. It is Winehouse's longest-running UK chart hit, but her Ronson collaboration "Valerie" has proven to be her biggest seller to date.

Music video

The music video was directed by Phil Griffin and released in September 2006. It was shot at 33 Portland Place in London, a large Georgian residence built in 1775 and used in many music videos of the era due to its grand and largely original interior. It features Winehouse's band playing their instruments while she sings to the camera. The band members are wearing dressing gowns/bath robes throughout the video, with one member dressed similarly to Donny Hathaway. It begins with Winehouse rising from bed and then moving to the bathroom. For the second verse, Winehouse is on a chair in a psychiatrist's office, presumably explaining herself to an unseen therapist. In contrast to the lyrics, the video ends with Winehouse in rehab, sitting on a bed in a white-tiled clinical ward room with her band around her. The video was shot by director of photography Adam Frisch, FSF. On 31 May 2007, "Rehab" debuted on MTV's Total Request Live and later peaked at number one on 7 June.{{cite web|title= Chart News: TRL Recap (June 2007) |publisher= ATRL |date= June 2007 |access-date= 2 May 2014 |url= http://www.atrl.net/?t=45797}} The music video was also nominated for Video of the Year at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost out to Rihanna's "Umbrella."

Live performances

On 12 March 2007, Winehouse performed the song live for her US television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman.{{cite web|title= Amy Winehouse – "Rehab" Live on David Letterman |via= YouTube |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRF43-xaYc}} For a while, she replaced "Ray" with "Blake", referring to her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, in live performances. She also replaced several times the lyrics, "I'm gonna lose my baby", with, "I'll never lose my baby".
