Rehab
 
rehab is one of her most known singles. it came out with the album back to black. it's about when she was going to rehab but she did'nt want to. she did'nt want to go because she thouhgt that it would'nt help her and she knew that she should stop drinking and taking drugs. She sings "i don't ever wanna drink again" I think that she also did'nt want to go because she did'nt want to fail her fans. i think she wrote the song because she wanted to share a hard time in her life. i also think that she wanted to show everybody that she would be alright and that she was getting better.
