Parents need to know
Parents need to know that while this single, with its go-go dance appeal, sounds like it could have come from Amy Winehouse, there's nothing bawdy or provocative about it.
Families can talk about rock and pop star comparisons. Are musicians just putting out music that sounds the same? Do they have a desire to be original or a desire to be more like everyone else?

Very veiled innuendo: The song is about a girl who is kind of at the mercy of a guy who doesn't seem to treat her well. Duffy doesn't really say anything that might be offensive, but it is assumed ("You say that I will be something on the side").

What's the story?
Reviewed by Maria Dinoia
International songstress Duffy has broadened her likability to the U.S. The talented Welsh beauty is already a hit in the U.K., but with the popularity of YouTube, she's begun to make a name for herself across the Atlantic.
Is it any good?
While comparisons to Amy Winehouse are inevitable, Duffy's voice outshines Winehouse's snarl with an angelic quality. Her soulfulness radiates through the lyrics of "MERCY" and makes fans look forward to more music from this cool new import from Wales. The video is decent and doesn't stray too far with images of Duffy singing on an elevated stage while male dancers perform around her.
