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.

"In My Sleep" by Anne-Marie is a song that delves into the subconscious desires and longing for someone who is no longer present. The lyrics convey the idea that even though the person has physically left, their presence lingers in the dream-like state of sleep. The singer of the song describes how they have been searching for the person in various places like Jupiter and Mars, as if they are desperate to find them again, even if it's only in their dreams. The line "looking for ghosts in the dark" suggests that they are searching for any trace of the person, even in the shadows and memories.
The pre-chorus highlights the emotional struggle the singer faces. They reach out for the person, yearning for their presence, and simultaneously hide from the truth, perhaps trying to avoid accepting the reality that the person is no longer there. The chorus reveals that the singer talks about the person in their sleep, indicating that their thoughts and feelings are deeply ingrained and persistent. They admit that this feeling cuts deep, yet they find solace and pleasure in the connection they experience in their dreams, expressed through the line "I can feel you 'tween the sheets."
The second verse amplifies the intensity of their connection, with the singer suggesting that their secrets come to life in their dreams and that they can feel the person's heart beating. The bridge of the song reveals that even in the morning, when they wake up and the dream state fades away, they hold onto the memories and sweet moments shared with the person. The singer acknowledges that they can't let go and describes their love as clouded in mystery and destined for infinity.
Overall, "In My Sleep" explores the complex emotions that arise when someone is deeply missed and longed for. The song portrays the power of dreams and the subconscious mind in keeping that connection alive, even when the person is physically absent.

SINCE THAT DAY YOU WENT AWAY
Since the day you left
I'VE BEEN TO JUPITER AND MARS
I've been searching everywhere
LOOKING FOR GHOSTS IN THE DARK
Searching for something that's no longer there
CRAWLING, CREEPING
Desperately trying to reach out
REACHING OUT FOR YOU, OH I'VE BEEN
Yearning and longing for you
LONGING, DREAMING, HIDING FROM THE TRUTH
Feeling a deep desire for you while avoiding facing reality
I'VE BEEN TALKING IN MY SLEEP
Expressing my true feelings without control
BABY THIS FEELING CUTS TOO DEEP
This emotion hurts deeply
BOY I'VE BEEN TALKING IN MY SLEEP
I can't help but talk about you
ABOUT YOU, ABOUT YOU, ABOUT YOU
Constantly thinking and dreaming about you
I'VE BEEN TALKING IN MY SLEEP
Unconsciously revealing my desires
I CAN FEEL YOU 'TWEEN THE SHEETS
I can imagine our intimacy
DOESN'T BOTHER ME IN THE LEAST
It doesn't bother me at all
I'M MORE THAN PLEASED
It brings me immense joy
ALL OUR SECRETS COME TO LIFE
All our hidden desires become real
I PULL YOU CLOSE EVERY NIGHT
I imagine holding you tightly
I CAN FEEL YOUR HEART BEATING
I can feel your love
IN THE MORNING HALF AWAKE
In the morning, barely conscious
I LEAVE ANOTHER SWEET CRUSADE
I continue to fantasize about you
I HOLD ON TO EACH MEMORY
I cherish every moment in my mind
CAN'T LET YOU GO
I can't move on from you
TRUE LOVE FOR INFINITY
Our love is eternal
CLOUDED IN MYSTERY
Surrounded by uncertainty
NOW I JUST WANT YOU 'TWEEN THE SHEETS
Now, all I desire is to be intimate with you
IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME IN THE LEAST
It doesn't affect me negatively
I'M MORE THAN PLEASED
I'm filled with joy and satisfaction

"On My Mind"
It's like all I do is think of you, yea you're always on my mind.
Baby she can't love you like I do.
Yea I miss the days when you were mine I think about you all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind.
There's not a day that I don't think of you.
There is not a time that you don't cross my mind.
Before you I didn't have nothing to lose, now if I lose you then I have nothing.
See I can't stand the thought of you with someone else.
Cause for you baby I feel like I'm perfect.
Without you boy I'm hurting, got issues but I'm worth it.
All I do is think of youuu.
It's like all I do is think of you, yea you're always on my mind.
Baby she can't love you like I do.
Yea I miss the days when you were mine I think about you all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind.
Together we've been through it all when and I'm not ready to give that up.
I know we've had our ups and downs but, but I just can't let go of us.
So can we stop playing these games cus, cus I can't get you off my brain.
I miss the way it was, the way we kiss, hug, make sweet love, no matter how hard I try it's like Iiiii
It's like all I do is think of you, yea you're always on my mind.
Baby she can't love you like I do.ย
Yea I miss the days when you were mine I think about you all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind all the time, all the time, all the time.
You're always on my mind.
