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.
Infinity
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is so much
That we can't see
With the human eye
It's a mystery
Learning so much
There are unknown reasons
Don't feel paralyzed
Just get up
And ride on
Fly a kite
Mow the lawn
Doing human things
Our dreams have their wings
Wanting every answer
Yeah, we want our bling
Look at the atmosphere
Is it hard to believe
That there is infinity
Just because you can't see
And look at the atmosphere
And all the planets, too
What is it that brings you here
What do you think is true
Humans sometimes
Are so naive
They're after each other
Cause they don't believe
They want the proof
Or else they can't see
What they only hear
Why can't they believe, oh
Just get up
And ride on
Fly a kite
Mow the lawn
Doing human things
Our dreams have their wings
Wanting every answer
Yeah, we want our bling
Look at the atmosphere
Is it hard to believe
That there is infinity
Just because you can't see
And look at the atmosphere
And all the planets, too
What is it that brings you here
What do you think is true
Look at the atmosphere
Is it hard to believe
That there is infinity
Just because you can't see
And look at the atmosphere
And all the planets, too
What is it that brings you here
What do you think is true
Look at the atmosphere
Is it hard to believe
That there is infinity
Just because you can't see
And look at the atmosphere
And all the planets, too
What is it that brings you here
What do you think is true
The lyrics to Anne-Marie's song "Infinity" explore the idea of the unknown and the limitations of human perception. The song suggests that there is so much in the world that we cannot see with our naked eye, and it remains a mystery to us. However, the pursuit of knowledge and learning helps us realize that there are unknown reasons for many things. Despite this, it urges listeners not to feel paralyzed but rather to continue living their lives and doing ordinary human things. The lyrics emphasize that our dreams have their own potential and desires, while we as humans seek answers and validation in material possessions (our "bling").
The song also touches upon the naivety of humans, highlighting how we often doubt and question things that we cannot physically see or prove. The lyrics suggest that humans tend to be skeptical and seek proof before accepting something as true, even if they have heard of its existence. It raises the question of why humans struggle to believe in the infinite possibilities and wonders that may exist beyond our narrow perception.
Overall, "Infinity" encourages listeners to expand their mindset, believe in the limitless nature of the universe, and embrace the unknown.

Otherwise, they are unable to perceive
What they only hear
Something that they solely hear about
Why can't they believe, oh
Why can't they have faith, oh
