"Beware of the Dog" is a dance-pop song written by Stuart Crichton, Jamelia, T. L. James, Depeche Mode and Karen Poole, produced by Crichton for Jamelia's third album Walk with Me (2006). The single is notable for its sample of Depeche Mode's song "Personal Jesus" and was the second single released from the album, except for New Zealand where it was released as the first and only single.
"Beware of the Dog" was the second single from Jamelia to enter the UK top forty on downloads alone. It was also the highest download only entry of the week and the only song to reach the top forty. The single has also been an airplay hit, reaching BBC Radio 1's A-list and peaking inside the top t
wenty of both the TV airplay and radio airplay charts. Upon its physical release, "Beware of the Dog" peaked at number ten in its second week on the charts, Jamelia's second top ten hit from Walk with Me and her seventh UK top ten hit in total. The single made it's debut in Australia on May 21, 2007
at number fifty-one due to low digital downloads but on its second week it moved up to its peak position of fifty.
Jamelia has performed the track with UK rock band Feeder, at their November 2006 gig at the London Coronet. "Beware Of The Dog" has also been used in the advertisement for UK televisi
on network's Channel 4 show, Goldplated.
In July 2007, the track was shortlisted for the Popjustice £20 Music Prize, a prize which recognizes the best British pop single over the past year. Popjustice praised the single by proclaiming that it "sounds like a Number One single to this very day." It
managed to get second place, behind Amy Winehouse's Rehab.

i wasnt being racist, you just decided to call me racist to make things worse, and becuase i wanted to make a point to mindless retards like yourselves who have no music taste, thats y
They are both good!
the lyrics you really can connect to.
i love this song!
*-*
I can actually say I don't mind Jamelia's interpretation. Her sex appeal is far more believable and real than that of Hilary Duff (i.e. in "Reach Out", which is an unoriginal idea). Hilary just forces it too much. It gives off an awkward, premature vibe. Kudos to Jamelia. Thumbs down to Hilary Du
ff. Thumbs up for Duff beer.
i agree hilary duff looks premature but thats what she is, i love her though!
