Well, she is certainly referring to the acronym ADD which stands for Attention Deficit Disorder - an illness that makes it hard or impossible for you to concentrate on anything. _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

| Do you really think that this is what Natasha Bedingfield is singing about in that song? I have never heard of this expression: I feel so a d d. Maybe it means something else? |

Hello and how do you do.
I listened to the song and I think Torsten has suggested the logical meaning because she did mention about having difficulties to focus her attention.
But I've heard of this expression before but it gave me the impression, "I feel so stupid". In fact I believe this is what it means.
Maybe you should watch the video clip then. You might comprehend more from her face expression.

OK, here is the video and it would be great if you could tell me whether or not you can place Natasha Bedingfield's accent by listening to this song. I mean if you didn't know where she is from, could you tell her origin by listening to her song? http://youtube.com/watch?v=7-lwkrTC-yA

I'm sure she's not American, she doesn't have the excessive "rrr" in the words like "later, paper, words".
She also doesn't have the excessive "ay" for example in the words "AustrIlia" the way the Australians usually pronounce it.
If I were to guess, she's British or European. But my experience with any native speakers is very limited. _________________ Okotteru Papa mo suki dakedo, nikoniko yasashii Papa ha mo~tto suki! |
