With Mark Ronson’s distinctive production and Amy’s iconic vocal, ‘Rehab’ is nothing short of the perfect example of how to write a song and what a chorus. “They tried to make me go to rehab/I said, no, no, no” she croons over crisp Motown production and gorgeous backing vocals, and within that first 30 second chorus a new classic was born.
