They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no

Amy Winehouse, “Rehab”
Not every song about rehab and recovery is in support of it. The beehive-d songstress, who died of alcohol poisoning, stormed onto the international music scene with this single off her 2006 album Back to Black. The song relayed quite clearly her staunch refusal to attend rehab (“They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no”) despite the insistence of her management team, whom she later fired. “I literally walked in and walked out,” Winehouse said in a 2006 interview. “When it was suggested to me, I went to see the guy at the center for 10 minutes just so I could say to the record company that I went.” The song ended up cracking the top 10 in eight different countries as Winehouse’s Motown-style groove drew comparisons to R&B legends like Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, “Rehab” eventually became more associated with endless tabloid punch lines as Winehouse’s own life fell apart.
