„Mercy“ is a single from the album Rockferry by Duffy. Co-written and produced by Steve Booker. The song which has received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance was made available for download from February 11, 2008 and was released physically on February 25, 2008. On February 17, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number one solely on download sales. The retro-soul style is given further significance by the appearance of several Northern Soul dancers in the song’s video. As of 25th July 2008, Mercy has been viewed on YouTube over 23 million times. Mercy is included in the FIFA 09 soundtrack. Mercy was the best selling single of 2008 in the UK with over 420,000 sales until November when it was overtaken by the hit single Hero by the X Factor Finalists putting it into second place.
According to Duffy, the song is autobiographical and is about „sexual liberty“ and „not doing something somebody else wants you to do“. In an interview the singer also likened singing Mercy to having sex and said she loved to sing it as she felt it was like „having sex everyday“. The organ riff played throughout the song is very similar to that of „When the Music’s Over“ by The Doors. The introduction of Mercy is reminiscent of the opening bars of ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E King.
