Last year, Ronson spoke about his experience co-writing and producing the song with Winehouse andshared previously-unheard raw vocal takesfrom the legendary neo soul singer in a TikTok video.

“Amy came to my studio right here. We met for the first time, and I instantly loved her,” Ronson continued. “She played me all this great ’60s music, and she left, and I got very inspired, and I came up with this piano right here.”

“Next day she came in and wrote these incredible lyrics, which she scribbled in the back room. And for the first time ever maybe, here are the very first vocals that she did,” he continued, before playing an audio clip of Winehouse singing a slightly different version of the then-work-in-progress track.
