'Frank' was the first studio and debut album by Amy Winehouse that was released on 20th October 2003 by Island Records and did not feature any hit singles.

It also reinforces an artist that is an inspiration of hers, Frank Sinatra. The album intially ranked at number 60 in the UK Albums Chart before it then ranked at number 13 in the Januray of 2004. Following the death of Amy on 23 July 2011, the album re-entered the UK Chart at number 5 and then at number 3 the week after, with 19,811 copies sold.

The song was written about Amy's ex boyfriend, Blake Fielder-Civil, who left her for an ex girlfriend of his. The reference 'Back To Black' may regard to going back into depression and drinking. However, 'black' can also refer to heroin to which Amy was addicted to. The song expresses the anger and feelings of hurt for a betrayal. However, despite this, some of her lyrics imply her strength and that she has remained strong, 'Me and my head high, And my tears dry, Get on without my guy.' When applying this video to Goodwin's Theory, the lyrics are very straight forward and amplify the visuals within the music video of there being a funeral, would could represent the death of her relationship. This song is said to be inspired by 1960's girl group classics and contains powerful vocals and lyrics. What is interesting is within the music video, Amy mourns over a headstone that reads 'R.I.P Amy WInehouse' to which this was edited out following her death in 2011. Furthermore, it is notable that the whole music video is shot in black and white which strengthens this idea of the misery and hardship of dealing with a love
