Dido – Thank You
Dido – Thank You (2000)
Dave Meyers
Thank You is a heartfelt ballad by English singer-songwriter Dido, co-written with Paul Herman and produced alongside her brother Rollo Armstrong. Initially featured on the 1998 Sliding Doors soundtrack, it later appeared on her debut album No Angel (1999) and was released as a single on September 18, 2000. The song gained widespread recognition after being sampled in Eminem’s 2000 hit “Stan,” which propelled Dido into mainstream success. “Thank You” peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart, and topped charts in several countries, including Canada and Portugal. The accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, portrays Dido being evicted from her home, which is sandwiched between towering skyscrapers. As construction workers dismantle her house, Dido remains composed, sipping tea amidst the chaos. The video concludes with her walking away from the demolished site, symbolizing resilience and moving forward despite adversity.
