In the beginning of her career she had some pretty melancholic demo love songs on her unreleased first album, Odds & Ends, then with her official studio album, No Angel, she really showcased her talents of balancing Happiness and Sadness in "Thank You" and presented, spooky ethereal sounds on "Here With Me" while also showing a vocal attitude on "Hunter". With her first album it had a feeling of sad love and spooky sounds.Then with her second release Life For Rent, songs like, "Sand In My Shoes", "This Land Is Mine" and "See The Sun" were Happily Melancholic songs. They balanced that Happiness and Sadness in a song. While other songs like, "Life For Rent" and "See You When You're 40", have more of a feeling of realizations and growing up. I love that.

Then her recent third release, Safe Trip Home, took a turn of melancholy with the melodies, lyrics, and vocals, Dido offered on the album. But there's still a small feeling of understanding in some of the songs. Like, "Quiet Times", "Look No Further" and "Us 2 Little Gods".While other songs are purely melancholic like, "Summer*", "For One Day*", "Grafton Street", "The Day Before The Day" "Let's Do The Things We Normally Do", and "It Comes And Goes".
While the rest were about love and moving on, "Don't Believe In Love", "Never Want To Say It's Love" and "Burnin' Love".
I've noticed that with her ethereal voice and her creative melodies, her songs can be from purely melancholic to happily melancholic. It's as if Happily Melancholy is in her voice. Luckily with that wonderful voice it makes her songs very powerful.I think that's she's an Empress because of her vocals, melodies, and lyrics. She's a really happily melancholic woman. She's growing fast personally, and she's going through the death of her father. That shows great honors of being the Happily Melancholy Empress.
