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.
Euphoria
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After three AM on a Thursday night
Hoping they won't catch us smoking cigarettes
As we breathe 'em out like it's our last breath
Sneak away tonight, steal your parents' wine
Drive to Sunset Cliffs, it will all be fine
Run your hands through my hair in the back of your car
We're so unaware we would fall so hard, hard
Find me, find me when the night has gone
I'll be, I'll be who you leaning on
Find me, find me when the night has gone
I'll be, I'll be who you leaning on
Euphoria, I feel it in my blood
Euphoria, and I can't get enough
Euphoria, it never stops when I'm with you, you, you
You're my euphoria
Found a secret place we could get away
In pink rocket ships, fly to outer space
You don't have to come with me but there's nothing to lose
Backpack full of Jack, bring your tennis shoes
Do you remember that time you stayed here to clean
Up my apartment when I was just seventeen
After the cops showed up to shut the party down
And we watched cartoons, I'm glad you stayed up
Find me, find me when the night has gone
I'll be, I'll be who you leaning on
Find me, find me when the night has gone
I'll be, I'll be who you leaning on
Euphoria, I feel it in my blood
Euphoria, and I can't get enough (euphoria)
Euphoria, it never stops when I'm with you, you, you (euphoria, it never stops)
You're my euphoria
Euphoria, I feel it in my blood (oh, euphoria)
Euphoria, and I can't get enough (euphoria)
Euphoria, it never stops when I'm with you, you, you (with you, with you, with you)
You're my euphoria
In the lyrics of Anne-Marie's song "Euphoria," the artist reflects on youthful experiences and the intense emotions that come with them.

The imagery of starship lights and a drive to Sunset Cliffs creates a sense of adventure and freedom, heightened by the feeling that time and consequences are momentarily suspended. The act of stealing parents' wine and running hands through hair in the back of a car symbolizes a sense of recklessness and infatuation, with the realization that they are falling deeply for each other.

This intense emotion is tied to the presence of the other person, indicating that their relationship serves as a source of joy and escape from reality.

Laying on my bed under starship lights
Relaxing on my bed underneath dreamy lights
After three AM on a Thursday night
Late night on a weekday
Hoping they won't catch us smoking cigarettes
Trying not to get caught smoking
As we breathe 'em out like it's our last breath
Exhaling like it's our final moment
Sneak away tonight, steal your parents' wine
Going off secretly, taking your parents' alcohol
Drive to Sunset Cliffs, it will all be fine
Heading to a serene spot, everything will be okay
Run your hands through my hair in the back of your car
Caressing my hair in the car's backseat
We're so unaware we would fall so hard, hard
Unknowingly falling deeply for each other
Find me, find me when the night has gone
Look for me once the night is over
I'll be, I'll be who you leaning on
I'll be the one you rely on
Euphoria, I feel it in my blood
Experiencing intense joy deep within me
Euphoria, and I can't get enough
Craving more of that euphoric feeling
You're my euphoria
You are my source of overwhelming happiness

Sam Gall Movie Reviews
Being a fan of the previous generation’s work, Judd Apatow, I was well aware of a new show that his daughter, Maude Apatow, was going to have a small role in a show called “Euphoria”. Zendaya was also fresh in my mind from having seen her in Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), but had most recently been following new actress Alexa Demie from her amazing work in two films I’ve already added to the Gem Mint 10.0 series; “Mid90s” (2018) and “Brigsby Bear” (2017) and was very excited to see the new show she was promoting.
From the god d*** first frame it blew me away! It was the first slice of work I’d seen by the great Barry Levinson’s son, Sam Levinson, whose created his own visual aesthetic in cinema that has yet to be matched. He truly is a visionary and making the most dramatic the most cinematic in ways that not only look incredible but help tell the story and get inside the minds of characters in ways maybe cinema wasn’t doing as much before.
Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Angus Cloud, Algee Smith and Storm Reid were all massive favorites, but were all new faces for me! Sydney Sweeney has gone on to star in a few things I saw after discovering “Euphoria” like Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood” (2019).
I love how unafraid of being honest this show is. I’ve never felt something so raw before, especially on a mainstream level like HBO is and the way this show has blown up. It’s the hard truth about what some people are actually or have gone through, I think as difficult as a pill as it may be to swallow at times, it could be the most important show of our time.
This is the world we live in now and I don’t think anything’s been more up front and honest about it than “Euphoria” (2019) has.
After obsessing over the entire first season, I devoured the rest of the cast and crews work as best I could before we had our, 2 episode long, 1.5 season that teases the lead up to the upcoming Season 2, which I cannot wait for. Since the last episode of Season 1 premiered, seeing more of Sam Levinson’s work was an absolute must! From “Assassination Nation” (2018) to “Malcolm & Marie” (2021), he’s grown to be one of my most favorite filmmakers of all time!
This whole cast, Sam Levinson and the team behind the camera, have come up with something so beautiful, poetic, honest and real that will stick in my head and heart for years to come! Massive props to original artist Labrinth for creating some of the most outstanding music I’ve ever heard! One of the most memorable aspects of this already groundbreaking show! Cannot wait for Season 2!

"Former Disney Channel star Zendaya made history on Sunday, becoming the youngest woman to win best actress in a drama series at the Emmys.
The 24-year-old picked up the coveted prize for her portrayal of teenage drug addict Rue in HBO's Euphoria.
That was no mean feat given her heavyweight competition.
Zendaya saw off Killing Eve's Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, Ozark's Laura Linney, The Crown's Olivia Colman and The Morning Show's Jennifer Aniston.
"I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating," she said at the virtual ceremony, surrounded by her family.
"But I just want to say there is hope in the young people out there - I know that our TV show doesn't always feel like a great example of that - but there is hope in our young people and I just want to say to all my peers out there doing the work in the streets, 'I see you, I admire you, I thank you.'"

this show is DEEP. it did everything thirteen reasons why did and then SO much more. this show is one of those shows that doesn’t hold back and isn’t afraid to be brutally honest.
Tryn
All they did was make every character a crass horn dog willing to do anything with anyone. How is that deep? Skins was so much better.
omar
Rewatch it honey! Actually you have no idea what this show was based on
Sonya Cruz
@Tryn I know right, these kids have no idea about Skin's, they think this show is something new. They tried to be Skin's but with fancy cinematography. Fir me it missed the mark
