"Beware of the Dog" is the second single release from Jamelia's third studio album, Walk with Me.[1] The single is notable for its sample of Depeche Mode's song "Personal Jesus".
"Beware of the Dog" was the second single from Jamelia to enter the UK top 40 on downloads alone. It was also the highest download only entry of the week and the only song to reach the top 40. The single has also been an airplay hit, reaching BBC Radio 1's A-list and peaking inside the top twenty of both the TV airplay and radio airplay charts. Upon its physical release, "Beware of the Dog" peaked at #10 in its second week on the charts, Jamelia's second top 10 hit from Walk with Me and her seventh UK top ten hit in total.
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 television network's Channel 4 show, Goldplated.
