I Said Go, Go, Go

Listening to Amy Winehouse’s 2006 hit single “Rehab” while she was alive and publicly struggling with addiction was difficult enough. The surface delights of that song—its retro-style girl-group melody, its tight horn arrangement, Winehouse’s trademark bluesy growl—contrasted so starkly with the harrowing lyrics: “I ain’t got the time/ And my daddy thinks I’m fine/ He’s tried to make me go to rehab, but I won’t go, go, go.” A completely unfictionalized account of her then-recent experience with her bullying manager-father and a half-hearted and short-lived visit to an addiction and recovery facility, "Rehab" was a cry for help with a toe-tapping rhythm, a suicide note you could dance to.
