This was the third proper single from Mark Ronson's second album Version. It was a cover of the Zutons' signature song "Valerie", which has reached #9 in the UK eighteen months earlier and would go on to be Mark's most successful single, peaking at #2 and spending months on the chart. Amy had originally covered "Valerie" on a visit to Radio 1's Live Lounge and Mark beefed up the production with his famous horns. It was never a hit in the US (I can't remember if they ever even sent "Stop Me" for adds, and I definitely don't think they got as far as this), but it has featured in a handful of movies and Glee.
"Tears Dry On Their Own" was the last single Amy filmed a video for in her lifetime. After that, "Love Is A Losing Game" was made up of existing footage and the "Valerie" video featured women at a concert miming to the track.
