"Thank You Very Much" is a song recorded by Polish singer Margaret for her first extended play, All I Need (2013). It was also included on her debut studio album, Add the Blonde (2014). The song was written by Thomas Karlsson, Joakim Buddee and produced by Ant Whiting.[1][2] It was released to Polish radio stations on 14 May 2012, and later in the month Margaret performed it at the 2012 Sopot TOPtrendy Festival.[3][4] Shortly thereafter, her management decided to withdraw the song from radio stations and design a promotional plan before re-releasing it.[5] It was officially released on 21 February 2013 as Margaret's debut single.[1]

In 2013, Margaret represented Poland with the song at the 2013 Baltic Song Contest, and finished in second place.[6] During the peak of popularity of "Thank You Very Much" in Poland, the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV) only published the top 5 of the Official Polish Airplay Chart (now it is the Top 100), which may explain why the single did not appear on the chart. Nevertheless, the song managed to peak at number 2 on the Polish Airplay New chart.[7] It later went on to become the third best-selling digital single of 2013 in Poland released by a Polish artist.[8] "Thank You Very Much" also charted in Austria, Germany, Italy and Russia.

A controversial music video for the song, directed by Chris Piliero, contributed to the single's success.

Music video

A music video for the song, in which Margaret appeared surrounded by thirty nude extras, was released onto YouTube in February 2013.[9] It was directed by Chris Piliero and the filming took place in Los Angeles.[9][10] Shortly after its release, the video was removed by YouTube for violating the website's policy against nudity and sexual content; it was later restored with age restrictions.[9][11] Following this, Margaret expressed her support for the right to nudity under the slogan, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", and criticised YouTube for censorship.[9] The video received substantial media coverage, contributing to the international success of "Thank You Very Much".[12][13] A year after its release, the music video appeared on the viral website 9GAG; this increased its YouTube traffic to more than 500,000 views in 24 hours.[14]
