Don't Think Of Me
Dido · No Angel
So you're with her, and not with me,
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully, a little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me,
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean,
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be...
When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me
So you're with her, and not with me,
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend,
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel
When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there
When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad,
don't think of me
Don't Think Of Me
Released in 2000 on Dido's debut album No Angel, "Don't Think Of Me" stands as a defining track of the early 2000s Britpop and indie pop era. The song features Dido's distinctive, breathy vocal delivery layered over a driving, guitar-heavy rhythm that blends electronic textures with organic instrumentation. It captures the melancholic yet anthemic energy characteristic of her work during this period, serving as a pivotal moment in her transition from a solo artist to a more polished pop performer. The recording reflects the sonic landscape of the turn of the millennium, where electronic production met traditional rock structures, influencing a generation of artists seeking a sound that was both intimate and expansive.
