The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and music by Les Reed, who also contributed to the title and theme of the song. He received the Reed and Mason 1968 Ivor Novello award for best song musically and lyrically. Music and lyrics Although the song is a soulful number located in the triple meter, the main genre can be considered a power ballad in the British ballad tradition. Produced by Peter Sullivan, Jones' version includes a big band accompaniment set in flamenco rhythm. The final note of the A4. Flamenco was an amazing choice as there is no reference to Spain anywhere in the song. Perhaps it's because of the resemblance to Carmen, in which Don Jose stabbed Carmen to death when she told him she was leaving him for another man. The song tells the story of a man who walks past his girlfriend's window and sees her inside, imaloging love with another man. He waits outside all night, and then her morning, only to have her laugh in his face. He stabbed her and then waits for the police to break down the door and arrest him. The lyrics unfold from the killer's point of view and are filled with his, often contradictory, emotions. He talks about Delilah in possessive terms, but also calls himself a slave. He asks his dead girlfriend to forgive him, but still clearly sees himself inhabited by her. When Jones performed the song on Ed Sullivan's show, the censors insisted that the line The day the man left was changed to At half-time I was still crossing the road because the original version implied that he had spent the night with Delilah. Jones later described the change as such. During the two years of the High Court's 1983-M trial, Mason's ex-wife Sylvain Whittingham, daughter of Bond film writer Thunderball, Jack Whittingham, claimed that she had written half of the text of Delilah and several other songs. The case was settled outside court on 4 June 1985. Although she has never been registered as the third songwriter of the song by publishers, she has a legal right to claim a written loan. This was never contested by Reed and Mason. Tom Jones's record reached No. 1 in several countries, including Germany and Switzerland. It peaked at Number 2 on the UK charts in March 1968 and was the sixth best-selling single of the year. The U.S. Billboard chart hit its highest number at 15.

Miscellaneous uses rugby Welsh rugby fans to sing Delilah as an unofficial anthem, at least back in the 1970s; this is stated in the texts of one of Max Boyce's poems Hymns and Arias: We sang Cwm Rhondda and Delilah, damn it, they sounded the same. Tom Jones performed it before Wales' rugby union victory over England at Wembley Stadium in 1999. In 2003, the Welsh Rugby Union performed a song at the Millennium Stadium before matches; the lyrics to the song were shown on the big screens and the crowd sang along. In 2014, Dafydd Ivan, former president of the Welsh nationalist Party Plaid Cymru, called on Welsh rugby players to stop singing Delilah at matches, claiming the song trivialises the idea of killing a woman. Jones dismissed Ivan's claims, saying: I don't think (the singers) really think about it... If it is taken literally, I think it takes pleasure from it. Before the 2016 Six Nations Rugby Championship, Welsh MP Chris Bryant said the song was about killing a prostitute and asked not to sing a song by Welsh rugby fans as the lyrics glorify violence against women. Co-writer Sylvain Whittingham dismissed the allegation, saying: The reason why there is more domestic violence after rugby matches is because men drink... It has nothing to do with Delilah.
