The original ballad version of the track is featured on the posthumous album Lioness : Hidden Treasures ( 2011 ). The song was featured in the documentary film based on the life and death of Winehouse, Amy ( 2015 ) and was also included on the film 's soundtrack.

The clip features footage of Winehouse making her way down Hollywood Blvd and in a dim motel room. The hotel is the Grand Motel at 1479 S La Cienega Blvd, in Los Angeles. She does n't pay attention to her surroundings ( Why people walk into her ) as she goes down Hollywood Blvd, and in the hotel room there are empty bottles and cigarettes hinting at her real life habits.
