Mark Ronson, who produced Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” album, tells MTVAsia how the two came up with the lyrics for “Rehab.” It’s pretty much exactly what you would expect:
"We were walking down the street," he continued, "and she's telling me a story about her family or something coming over to [her home], to kind of talk some sense into her. And she was like, 'They tried to make me go to rehab, and I told them no, no, no,' and she put her hand up.
"I guess, as a friend, I should have been like, 'Oh my God, that must have been hard for you.' But as a producer, I was just like, 'That sounds hooky — you should go back to the studio and we should turn that into a song.'"
