Winehouse won three Ivor Novello Awards: in 2004, Best Contemporary Song for "Stronger Than Me"; in 2007, Best Contemporary Song again, this time for "Rehab"; and in 2008, Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game." She won the 2007 Brit Award for Best British Female Artist, having also been nominated for Best British Album, with Back to Black.
Fuck-me shoes, alternatively fuck-me boots, is a derisive slang term for women's high-heeled shoes that exaggerate a sexual image. The term can be applied to any women's shoes that are worn with the intention of arousing others. It is sometimes used to imply condemnation against the women who choose to wear them or in a misogynistic fashion toward the women who wear them.
The term is similar in meaning to kinky boots, although typically kinky boots refer more specifically to boots suited to a particular fetish.
Term and usage
The phrase possibly originated in America, where two similar terms are used: "'fuck-you shoes' implying a disregard for convention or propriety, or 'fuck-off shoes' where 'fuck-off' means both outsize and aggressive". Tight trousers were called "come fuck-me's" as listed in a 1972 British dictionary of slang, while a 1974 book is cited as making a reference to a person wearing "a pair of fabulous 1940s-Joan-Crawford-fuck-me's". The song "We are the Dead" from David Bowie's 1974 Diamond Dogs album mentions "fuck-me pumps."
"Fuck Me Pumps" is a song by English singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse from her debut studio albumFrank (2003). Written by Winehouse and Salaam Remi, the song was released in the United Kingdom as the album's fourth and final single on 23 August 2004 under the title "Pumps"—with "Help Yourself" as its coupling track—reaching number sixty-five on the UK Singles Chart. A clean radio edit was released for promotional purposes.
The track is about stereotypical "gold-digging" girls. The term "fuck-me pumps" or "FMPs" is a slang expression for sexy women's shoes, particularly those featuring bare heels. Chris Willman from Entertainment picked "Fuck Me Pumps" as the best song from Frank.
Music video
The music video for "Pumps" shows Winehouse walking the streets with a microphone wearing pumps (high-heeled shoes). It shows the type of girls whom Winehouse sings about in the song in front of a nightclub arguing, as well as Winehouse walking through several streets with a microphone in her hand. The farther she walks, the shorter the coil on the microphone gets. Along with the lyrical phrases about money-hungry women looking for security and love, Winehouse sarcastically explains the irony of it.

i've been so many places in my life and time i've sung a lot of songs i've made some bad rhyme i've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watching but we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you i know your image of me is what i hope to be i've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see there's no one more important to me darlin' can't you please see through me cause we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you you taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing you came out in front and i was hiding but now i'm so much better and if my words don't come together listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding i love you in a place where there's no space or time i love you for in my life you are a friend of mine and when my life is over remember when we were together we were alone and i was singing this song for you you taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing you came out in front and i was hiding but now i'm so much better and if my words don't come together listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding i love you in a place where there's no space or time i love you for in my life you are a friend of mine and when my life is over remember when we were together we were alone and i was singing this song for you
