"Fuck Me Pumps" is an R&B song written by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse and Salaam Remi for Winehouse's debut album, Frank (2003). Released as the album's fourth and final single on 23 August 2004 under the title "Pumps" as a double A-side with "Help Yourself", it reached number sixty-five on the UK Singles Chart.
The controversial track is about stereotypical "gold-digging" girls. The track is a fan favourite from Frank.
The term fuck-me pumps is a slang expression for sexy women's shoes, particularly those featuring bare heels.
[edit] Music video
The music video for "Pumps" shows Amy walking the streets with a microphone wearing pumps (high-heeled shoes). It shows the type of girls that 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 ("you don't like players, thats what you say-a, but you really wouldn't mind a millionaire"), Winehouse also sarcastically explains the irony of it ("without girls like you, there'd be no fun, we'd go to the club and not see anyone").
