“Thank You” was the second single by Dido, which was released in June 2001. It is the singer’s biggest hit off her debut album, No Angel. Samples from the track were featured on the song “Stan” by Eminem; a rare example of a song becoming a hit after a track which sampled it did.

Dido recorded a music video for her song “Thank You”. In the video, Dido hasn’t paid her bills, and the government comes to tear down her house. The construction workers put an eviction notice on her door and move her things out. Dido, who is partly oblivious to the fact that her house has been barricaded, is simply singing the song. In the end, she is escorted out of her home and is forced to walk the streets with a backpack and suitcases in tow.

The end of the video implies that her house is being torn down because it was built before the big city district was built (her home is sandwiched between two large skyscrapers).
