Thank You

Dido wrote "Thank You" after meeting her boyfriend, a lawyer named Bob Page, in 1995 and falling for him hard. Her tea has gone cold and the rain has clouded her window, but seeing his picture on her wall reminds her that it's not so bad. In this song, she thanks Page for giving her the "best day of her life," which is when they met in a club and had their first encounter. Page sparked a creative fire in Dido, who also wrote the song "Here With Me" about him. They got engaged in 2001, but broke up a year later, inspiring another Dido song: "White Flag."

This is the song Eminem sampled on his 2000 hit "Stan," which uses the first verse as the hook. Eminem's song is from the perspective of an obsessive fan, giving it a whole new meaning: Stan's life is hopeless, but he's buoyed by the kinship he feels with his hero, whose picture is on his wall. Dido appears in the video as Stan's wife and sang it with Eminem on some of his tour dates.

"Thank You" was used in the 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow movie Sliding Doors in 1998, over a year before it appeared on her debut album, No Angel. It plays over the credits at the end of the film.
