"White Flag" on YouTube

The song's music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, features actor David Boreanaz as Dido's love interest. "White Flag" was nominated for the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards but lost to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful". It won the Best British Single at the 2004 Brit Awards. "White Flag" ranked at number 317 on Blender's list "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born".[1]

Background and composition edit

"White Flag" was written and produced by Dido, Rick Nowels, and Rollo Armstrong.[2] In the song, the protagonist is unwilling to give up, even if she knows her relationship is over.[3] Dido has stated the song was inspired by a real break-up she had with a former fiancé.[4]

"White Flag" features "multi-layered" sound, delicate piano outro, and strings.[3] The majority of the song is in the key of D minor, but constantly alternates between that key and its relative major, F major.[5] The tempo is 90 beats per minute, and Dido's vocals range from the low note of A3 to the high note of C5.[6]

Critical reception edit

David Jeffries from AllMusic praised "Dido's sweet delivery" and stated that "It’s all very beautiful, the perfect soundtrack for weeping, and the definition of "wistful" in a song."[3] Derryck Strachan wrote for BBC Music that the song is "engaging to the extent that you could easily be humming along without it registering in your brain. There's something unconscious, pleasantly innocuous about it. It's comfort food for the ears and it could be easily on a Tom Hanks–Meg Ryan romantic comedy."[7] Alexis Petridis from The Guardian wrote that the song "is a superb, confidently written pop song, possessed of a chorus that is impossible to dislodge from your memory without the aid of hypnotherapy."[8]

Awards and impact edit

The song was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards, but lost to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful".[9] The song won the award for "Best Single" at the 2004 BRIT Awards.[10]

In popular culture edit

The song appears on the soundtrack to the films Perfect Strangers and Mommy.[11]

Music video edit

The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa and features actor David Boreanaz as Dido's love interest.[12]

The video tells a story about a relationship that is over, but where Dido is obviously still smitten with her ex, who is oblivious of her. They have numerous occasions where they are near each other without him noticing. Dido is clearly still not over him, and he is clearly not over her. At the end of the video, they return to their apartments and Dido's room is filled with photos of him and, in a twist ending, his apartment is also filled with Dido's photos (showing he's still as much in love with her as well.) The screen rotates throughout the entirety of the video, never standing still. The song's opening is also cut out entirely from the video.[13]
