"Rehab" is a song by English recording artist Amy Winehouse, released on 23 October 2006 as the first single from her second studio album, ''Back to Black'' (2006). Written by Winehouse and produced by Mark Ronson, the lyrics are autobiographical, and talk about Winehouse's refusal one time to enter a rehabilitation clinic. 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,〔〔 her only top ten hit in the US. "Rehab" has become a critical and commercial success internationally, and has been referred to as Winehouse's "signature song". It won three Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It also won an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/i354995/amy-winehouse-career-highlights-amy-winehouse-ivor-novellos.html )〕 Winehouse's public battle with drug and alcohol addiction, and subsequent death, has resulted in some of the song's continuing popularity and appearance in the media. The song has been covered by a list of artists, from Seether to Jamaican Mento band The Jolly Boys, and from Hot Chip to Lea Salonga. In 2015, a documentary film about Winehouse was released, entitled as ''Amy'' and a performance on Jools Holland in 2006 of ''Rehab'' was featured in the film and on the original soundtrack. ==Background== "Rehab" was produced by Mark Ronson and released as the album's lead single in October 2006 in the UK and January 2007 elsewhere. The song was written about Winehouse's refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre after her management team encouraged her to go. "I asked my dad if he thought I needed to go. He said no, but I should give it a try. So I did, for just 15 minutes. I went in said 'hello' and explained that I drink because I am in love and have screwed up the relationship. Then I walked out." Winehouse later changed her management company. 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: : 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 2012 biography of her, ''Amy, My Daughter''. 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 their 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". "Rehab" is a soul and R&B song.〔 In the lyrics Winehouse mentions "Ray" and "Mr. Hathaway", in reference to Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rehab (Amy Winehouse song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
