Songfacts®:

  • The closing track of the deluxe version of The Architect, this was inspired by Amy, the documentary film about Amy Winehouse. Paloma Faith told HMV.com:

    "The deluxe version has a track called 'Price Of Fame', which I wrote right after I'd seen the film about Amy Winehouse, it really struck a chord with me, how no one can look after someone and how the media played such a role in her demise, how they made her laughing stock when she was suffering so much. So I wrote a song for her with the band she recorded 'Back to Black' with."
