Background and Composition[]
"In My Bed" was produced by Salaam Remi and released on April 5, 2004. The song tells a story about Winehouse wanting sex from her ex and nothing more. Winehouse said of the song:[1]
"It’s a song about being with someone who you’ve been with who knows you and knows what you like and just about a kind of sadness because it’s not like it was and a kind of happiness because it is. It’s just about that conflicting ex-boyfriend situation."
The song samples the beat of Nas' song "Made You Look", which was also produced by Remi.
