"Dumb" is a song by British R&B group the 411. It was written by band members Suzie Furlonger, Carolyn Owlett, Tisha Martin and Tanya Boniface along with Gandalf Roudette-Mushcamp and Joshua Thompson for their debut studio album Between the Sheets (2004). Production was helmed by Dave McCracken, based on an original production by Redeye, with Fitzgerald Scott credited as additional and vocal producer on the track.[1]
The song was released as the album's second single on 23 August 2004. "Dumb" is the 411's highest-charting single, entering and peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. In other countries, "Dumb" peaked at number 12 in Ireland as well as the top 40 in Australia, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. In Germany, the song served as the theme song for Sex and the City during ProSieben's commercial breaks. A French language version of the song called "Face á toi baby" with French rapper Mag (featuring the verses from "Dumb" with a special French chorus) appears on the French version of Between the Sheets.[citation needed]
