"No No No" in the song 'Rehab' by Amy Winehouse, is an essential part of her message in the song.

Consequently they also form the fundamental rhythmic aspect of the key verses of her song, which have the Rubaiyat 'AABA' rhyme scheme.

First verse:

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no.",

Yes I've been black but when I come back, oh, no, no, no,

I ain't got the time, and if my daddy thinks I'm fine,

They tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This verse is repeated throughout the song, occurring three times, plus a hook created by yet another repetition of the first two lines.

As stated in the question, Amy is clearly being defiant. She admits to a drinking problem, but she is going to sort it out in her own way, in her own time, if at all. And she has the added excuse that, if her father thinks she is fine, then why should she listen to 'busy bodies' or health professionals!

The effect of these words is on several levels:

  1. She is absolutely emphatic about her position on this matter.
  2. A simple No, repeated three times is very easy to remember!
  3. The listener can readily relate to her plea for viewpoint to be respected, even if they may not entirely agree with her reasoning.
  4. Her position makes us analyse our positions! How do we respond when someone tells us something 'for our own good', but which, for one reason or another, we reject or may not wish to comply with.
  5. Whether we can relate to 'her problems' or not, we all, to a greater or lesser degree, hope for respect, aim for independence, and assert the right to self-determination.

Therefore, her plea "No. No. No. Let me run my own life!" is the battle cry of all humanity! ... Even when others may feel, in some circumstances, that this is tantamount to saying "Let me ruin my own life!
