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 ↴
No one compares to her
A love like no other
She puts everyone else first
And when I was younger
I treated her the worst
Never known someone stronger
'Cause damn it must've hurt
I don't see you as much as I used to
But if I did, I know what I would do
I'd tell you I love you a million times
Say that I'm sorry if I made you cry
Could never be half the woman even if I tried
But I'll try, I swear I'll try
If someone puts me down, yeah, I know my worth
All thanks to you, the lessons that I've learnt
If I had to put it into words
I think of an angel and all I see is her
Hmm ooh
All I see is her
Uh uh hmm
Your voice in my head and
It tells me I'm beautiful
And when I have children
I'll pass on the things I was told
I don't see you as much as I used to
But if I did, I know what I would do
I'd tell you I love you a million times
Say that I'm sorry if I made you cry
Could never be half the woman even if I tried
But I'll try, I swear I'll try
If someone puts me down, yeah, I know my worth
It's all thanks to you, the lessons that I've learnt
If I had to put it into words
I think of an angel and all I see is her
Hmm ooh
All I see is her
Uh uh hmm
All I see is her

She acknowledges the mistakes she made when she was younger, saying that she treated her mother the worst. However, even after all that, she knows that her mother is incredibly strong because it must have hurt.
Even though she doesn't get to see her mother as much as she used to, she knows that she will always love her and expresses that she wishes she could tell her how much she loves her more often. Anne-Marie also says that thanks to the lessons her mother has taught her, she knows her worth if someone were to put her down. In her head, she can still hear her mother's voice telling her that she is beautiful. Anne-Marie feels like she has learned so much from her mother that she refers to her as an angel and anytime she thinks of one, she can only see her mother.
Overall, the song is a touching tribute to the powerful bond between a mother and daughter. It highlights the struggles that often come with growing up and learning to appreciate the sacrifices and lessons that mothers impart on their children.
