"Paid My Dues " is a song by American recording artist Anastacia from her second studio album, Freak of Nature lead single . The song was written by Anastacia, Greg Lawson , Damon Sharpe , and LaMenga Kafi and was produced by Ric Wake with additional production by Richie Jones.
"Paid My Dues" became a commercial success, reaching number one in Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland, as well as peaking within the top 10 in several other mainland European countries.
Composition [ edit ]
"Paid My Dues" was written by Anastacia , LaMenga Kafi, Greg Lawson , and Damon Sharpe , while production was handled by Ric Wake , with additional production by Richie Jones.[1] Billboard [2] Yahoo! Music , the song is a "typically robust 'go girl' anthem."[3]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Jose F. Promis writing for AllMusic called the song "the soulful, bombastic rocker".[1] Slant Magazine [4] Rolling Stone Freak of Nature' s "moments of sheer overkill".[5]
Music video [ edit ]
Directed by Liz Friedlander , the music video for "Paid My Dues" was shot in Los Angeles , California . In the beginning, Anastacia is speaking while being in a virtual mirror. Then you can see Anastacia in a room where she is packing her suitcases. Following this, you see her while she is trying to make her a way but there are many people she must across. Then she is in some kind of a disco, where she successfully tries again to find her way through people, this time to a stage.
When she finally arrives there, she goes through a mirror and is "teleported" to a stage, where she sings the song. In the end she pulls out the electricity cable.
