The clip opens with shots of the Grammy winner as a young girl. The vintage footage plays as she explains, “Singing has always been important to me but I never thought I would end up singing, I would be a singer.” 

“I just thought, ‘I’m lucky that there is something that I can always do if I want to,'” Winehouse continues. “I’m so lucky like that… I’m not a girl trying to be star or be anything other than a musician.”

The “Rehab” singer infamously struggled with addiction, and was found with a toxic amount of alcohol in her system at the time of her death. Winehouse’s fame massively skyrocketed after the release of her celebrated 2006 album Back to Black, and she can be heard in the trailer saying that she was not looking for stardom.

“How big do you think you’re going to be?” an anonymous interviewer asks. “I don’t,” Winehouse responds. “I don’t think I’m gonna be at all famous. I don’t think I could handle. I would probably go mad, you know what I mean? I would go mad.”
