About Well, Well, Well

"Well, Well, Well" is a song by Welsh singer Duffy, from her second studio album, Endlessly (2010). It was released as the lead and only single from the album worldwide, beginning on 19 October 2010 in the UK. As with the rest of the album, the song was both written and produced by Duffy and Albert Hammond, with Stuart Price providing co-production. It is an up-tempo pop song in which Duffy questions her lover's accusations, with Duffy calling it a song about "desire for freedom" within a relationship. Marking a departure from the soul sound of her debut album, Rockferry (2008), the song received mixed reviews from critics; being both praised and criticized for Duffy's vocal style. Some thought that it "is possibly the weakest of the new tunes" from its parent album. Failing to meet the popularity of her previous singles, "Well, Well, Well" peaked at number 41 on the UK Singles Chart and number 37 on the European Hot 100 Singles chart. Commercially, it is her worst performing single to date, although it proved to be a moderate success in mainland Europe, reaching the top twenty in Finland, Belgium and Switzerland. The song's accompanying music video portrayed Duffy backed with male dancers in several scenes around the city of Oxford, England. The single was promoted extensively as part of a campaign of "major TV moments", taking in the UK, the United States as well as seven countries around Europe in 2010 and 2011. At 2:45, it is the shortest of all Duffy's singles.

Well well well
Well well well
Well well well
Well well well

Highly suspicious,
Where was I last night
Seek and you shall find
And it goes in my mind,
You make me draw the line
I didn't commit any crime

I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do
I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do

Well well well
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?

When I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do
I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do

I'm not that cagey
But I don't need to explain
There's nothing to blame

You'll only drive me away
There's so many questions everyday
You make me go insane

I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do
I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do

Well well well
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?

When I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do
I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do

Well well well
Well well well
Well well well
Well well well

I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do
You know I'm not guilty
Of what you're saying I do

Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
Just why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?

Well well well
