Eminem's "Stan", the song that contains the first line of "Thank You" and her later appearance in the video, were the key reasons to become known in the USA.

Her next album, "Safe Trip Home", contains collaborations with several artists, such as Rollo Armstrong and Brian Eno.

After the song "If I Rise" with A.R. Rahman that came out in early 2011 and received the "Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Song", Dido recorded "Girl Who Got Away", that came out almost 2 years later. The album, with "No Freedom" its most known track, contains also a lot of collaborations. The "Greatest Hits" collection was Dido's next release in November of 2013 until her next album, "Still on My Mind", that came out in March of 2019.
