Skunk Anansie frontwoman Skin has spoken about her admiration for Amy Winehouse's 2006 album Back To Black, which she counts among her favourite records and describes as the work of "a genius singer and songwriter". The piece draws on past interviews to explore both Skin's deep appreciation of the album and her difficulty listening to its most famous track, Rehab, following Winehouse's death.

In a 2019 interview with The Quietus, Skin recalled first hearing Winehouse's voice on a morning television programme while ironing, saying she ran between rooms to find out who was singing and initially assumed it was "some old black woman". She admitted she was late to the album and even resistant to it at first, but was won over by its storytelling and vocals. However, in a 2022 Guardian interview she named Rehab as a song she can no longer play, reflecting that Winehouse might still be alive had she sought help. The article notes Skunk Anansie have had a busy summer touring UK arenas with Garbage and Alanis Morissette, with dates booked through to 22 August.
