After a chance meeting with an aspiring singer/songwriter, she managed to secure some studio time in Elton John's Rocket Studios, and, after hearing what she could do, she was subsequently picked up by Elton's management company Rocket Music. Anne-Marie released a demo in 2013 entitled Summer Girl, which drew some attention to the singer, most notably garnering a fan in Ed Sheeran. Despite the encouraging start to her solo career, things were put on hold to give her more time to develop as an artist.
Having guested on tracks by dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man, London-based garage duo Gorgon City, and progressive house trio Raized by Wolves, Anne-Marie caught the attention of Brit and MOBO award winners Rudimental. She was featured alongside Dizzee Rascal and Will Heard on two tracks from their second album, 2015's We the Generation, and spent two years touring with the band, playing some of the world's biggest stages and best-known festivals.
The summer of that year also saw the release of Anne-Marie's debut EP on Rudimental's then-new record label, Major Tom's. The aptly titled Karate EP featured three tracks and a Chloe Martini remix, and producers Josh Record and Two Inch Punch worked with her on the record. Both the lead single "Karate," a slick fusion of electro-grime and R&B, and the follow-up "Gemini," garnered some very positive reviews and led Anne-Marie to gigging as a solo artist. In early 2016, the single "Do It Right" reached the U.K. charts, and several months later "Alarm" hit the Top 40 in several charts around the world.
In 2017, Anne-Marie scored a hit single when she featured on Clean Bandit's multi-platinum "Rockabye" with Sean Paul. The song topped the charts across Europe and in Australia, breaking into the Top Ten in Canada and the U.S. She followed with the solo singles "Ciao Adios" and "Heavy," which both charted in the U.K. and Ireland. Both tracks appeared on her debut full-length, Speak Your Mind, which saw release in April 2018. The record also featured the track "Friends," written and recorded with American dance producer Marshmello.
Am I Wrong
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Ask my mother, she knows
Honestly, always late
All these years, not a damn thing changed
I like crying too much
I'm done lying to ya
Make mistakes twice a day
'Cause you can love me or hate me
Nothing's gonna change me
Ain't no time to play pretend (no, no)
What you see it what you get (no, no)
'Cause that's just who I am
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
Got enough drama, I don't need fake friends
That's just who I am
Don't need anyone to understand
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
That's just who I am
All my nails chewed up
All my credit screwed up
Misbehave, ain't afraid, that's how I'm made
And you can love me or hate me
Nothing's gonna change me
Ain't no time to play pretend (no, no)
What you see it what you get (no, no)
'Cause that's just who I am
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
Got enough drama, I don't need fake friends
That's just who I am
Don't need anyone to understand
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
That's just who I am
I am, I am, I am
That's just who I am
I am, I am, I am
Just who I am
Love me or hate me
Nothing's gonna change me
That's just how they made me, yeah
'Cause you can love me or hate me
Nothing's gonna change me
You can call me crazy
And I may be
But that's just who I am
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
Got enough drama, I don't need fake friends
That's just who I am
Don't need anyone to understand
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
That's just who I am
I am, I am, I am
It's just who I am
I am, I am, I am
Just who I am
Sorry
These lyrics express a strong sense of self and a refusal to conform to societal expectations. The singer acknowledges their stubborn nature and admits to always being late, asserting that these traits have remained unchanged over the years. They also confess to enjoying crying too much and being prone to making mistakes on a daily basis, suggesting that these behaviors are ingrained within their character.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's acceptance of themselves, irrespective of whether others love or hate them. They proclaim that nothing will change who they are and that they have no interest in pretending to be someone else. They make it clear that what others see is the real them and that there are no hidden or fake sides to their personality.
The second verse continues this theme of self-acceptance and defiance. The singer describes their physical appearance, with chewed-up nails and a troubled credit score, highlighting their imperfections and flaws. They assert that misbehaving and fearlessness are integral parts of their identity.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that the singer's true self will not be altered by others' opinions. The lyrics suggest a defiance of societal norms and a refusal to conform or seek validation. The singer accepts the possibility of being perceived as crazy but maintains that this is just who they are.
The final lines of the song convey a sense of unapologetic self-assurance. The singer expresses a lack of concern over whether others like or dislike them, emphasizing their independence from needing anyone's understanding or approval. They reiterate that their true self is unwavering and that they will not apologize for being who they are.

I don't know if you or your face made me fall in love to such a degree that I thought about you and what my life would be like without you but I don't lose hope of being a good friend or just meeting you and I know you very well and I know that you are a very Sweet and who understands people and I would like to know if you would like to know me to know who I am and I of course want to meet you but my native language is Spanish and I used the translator to send you this message and nothing separates me from knowing you nor the 6000 kilometers that separates us alive in GTM and I am a person who loves you very much and thinks that you are a great person and supports you and loves you I hope your answer but do not think that I am someone bad if not a person who knew the true love of a person in special that you are and I appreciate you very much and you are the best person and I would appreciate it if you would give me a chance to even be your friend and sentor at the end that I manage to have your friendship that I miss so much with all my strength and you do not know the love I feel for you and I am a good person and thank you for read this and I send you buttons wherever you want you to be, I await your response
and in this I declare my unconditional love I hope you answer me please with a
Yes
perhaps
when
I ask you, I fell in love with you deeply and you do not know how it hurts not to know you, hug you, love you, it will sound strange to you that I fell in love with you without knowing anything about you and I know who you are and from what I have seen you are the sweetest person, funny, loving beautiful in every way and I love you deeply that I want so much and I will not break your heart I will always be there for you my love that I want to know I hope it does not scare you I am not a bad person if not someone who loves you unconditionally no matter what that separates us I will look for you for Mars all my life but my consolation is to listen to your music and your voice but I have the hope that one day I will meet you
Hello Anne Marie to the most fantastic person if by chance you see me in my comments I want to make a declaration of love that I feel deeply in my heart that in your eyes I look at the endless sea in your being I see something that I cannot describe I am in love with you that my heart can no longer bear and I do not want you to feel overwhelmed but I love you as you have no ideas I know that I am not very romantic but enough to love you and I would like to know if you would like to meet me but I love you too much that I cannot bear I love you I hope you answer me, it is my great illusion
