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.

Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I don't know me anymore, yeah
Say where's that girl we knew before
‘Cause we don't see her anymore, yeah
Used to get lost in conversation
But it seems we've hit a nerve
‘Cause I've been around the world
Baby girl don't think of it like that
Oh, you pushed my buttons too far lately
Take that chip off your shoulder maybe
I'll wait forever just to get you alone together
You're my hope from whole
I swear that I'm sincere
Yeah I can't land on
You know that I'll wait forever just to get you alone together
You're my hope from whole
I swear that I'm sincere
Yeah I can't land on
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
I ain't been sleeping much at all
Too many meetings to recall
And I've been swept up by a storm
But didn't feel the calm at all, yeah, yeah
And now I'm lost in conversation
But I'm not being heard
‘Cause I've been around the world
Baby girl don't think of it like that
I'm on the road, no telephone, no time to call you back
Oh, you pushed my buttons too far lately
Take that chip off your shoulder maybe
I'll wait forever just to get you alone together
You're my hope from whole
I swear that I'm sincere
Yeah I can't land on
You know that I'll wait forever just to get you alone together
You're my hope from whole
I swear that I'm sincere
Yeah I can't land on
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
You are my Gemini
