Thank You (Jamelia song)

1

"Thank You" is a song by English singer Jamelia. It was written by Jamelia, Peter Biker and Carsten "Soulshock" Schack, while production was helmed by the latter two. The song was chosen as the third single taken from Jamelia's second studio album, Thank You (2003). "Thank You" is about an abusive relationship, of which Jamelia had first-hand experience, discussing that relationship and how she made it through the experience. "Thank You", released in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2004, became Jamelia's highest-charting single in the UK to date, peaking at number two and spending 14 weeks within the UK Singles Chart. It was kept off the top spot by a re-release of Peter Andre's "Mysterious Girl". The song was also successful in Australia, New Zealand, Finland, and Ireland, peaking inside the top 20 in all four countries. In France, the song was released as a duet with French singer Singuila, reaching number 30 on the French Singles Chart.

Music video

Many critics saw the song as a source of strength and inspiration, which is why in the music video, directed by Matthew Rolston, Jamelia is depicted as the four elements. She commented that when thinking of ideas for the music video she wanted to focus on the positive side of the song, not the negative.
