Mitch Winehouse has revealed that
Amy Winehouse wrote the track 'Rehab' in
just three hours and that he and his wife are looking to build a life-size statue in their daughter's honor.
In an excerpt taken from his memoir, Amy, My Daughter published in Rolling Stone, the late singer's father recounts her first meeting with producer Mark Ronson and their early work on the tracks that would form her seminal album 'Back To Black'.
"She told [Ronson] about the time at my house after she'd been in hospital when everyone had been going on at her about her drinking. 'You know they tried to make me go to rehab, and I told them, no, no, no,'" the excerpt reads.

It continues: 'That's quite gimmicky,' Mark replied. 'It sounds hooky. You
should go back to the studio and we should turn that into a song.' She'd told
me before she was planning to write a song about what had happened that day,
but that was the moment 'Rehab' came to life.
He then recalls how Ronson suggested
she gave the track a "Sixties girl-group sound" to give it a
"jangly feel". He wrote: "Amy was unaccustomed to this style –
most of the songs she was writing were based around jazz chords – but it worked
and that day she wrote 'Rehab' in just three hours."
The book Amy, My Daughter, which is published tomorrow (June 28), also contains a collection of personal letters and handwritten notes, many of which were sent to her dad while she was away on tour.
The late singer's parents are currently in talks to build a life-size bronze statue of Winehouse at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, London.
