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.
Lonely
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't wait no more
Your fingers through my hair, that's on my mind
I know it's been a minute since you walked right through that door
But I still think about you all the time
I don't know, I don't know
How I'm gonna make it out
Now you got me sayin'
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
Yeah, I still watch the shows you showed me
I still drink that wine
But these days it tastes more bitter than sweet, hm
And all my friends are way too drunk to save me from my phone
So sorry if I say some things I mean
(Like) I don't know, I don't know
How I'm gonna make it out
I don't know, I don't know
Now you got me sayin'
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
Miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over
I miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over you
Oh, get over you
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
I miss those nights when you would come over (yeah)
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over
I miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over you
Mm, mm
The lyrics of Anne-Marie's "Lonely" express the feelings of heartbreak, longing, and loneliness that one experiences after a relationship ends. The song examines how difficult it can be to move on from someone who you still deeply care about, even after they have gone. Anne-Marie sings about repeatedly trying to reach out to her former lover through phone calls and thoughts, and how it has become increasingly frustrating. Even the things that remind her of the relationship--like drinking a certain type of wine or watching particular shows--now bring up painful memories.
The song also highlights the isolation and lack of support that come with a recent breakup. Anne-Marie feels that her friends cannot help her and are too consumed with their own lives to notice her struggles. As a result, she turns to her phone to get some sort of relief, but it only makes her yearn for the person more.
Ultimately, the lyrics of "Lonely" are about the struggle to move on after a heart-wrenching breakup. The song perfectly encapsulates the anguish and loneliness of losing someone you love.

I call you one time, two time, three time
I've been calling you repeatedly, hoping you'll answer
I can't wait no more
I'm tired of waiting for you to come back
Your fingers through my hair, that's on my mind
I can't stop thinking about your touch
I know it's been a minute since you walked right through that door
It's been a while since you've been here, and I miss you
But I still think about you all the time
You're always on my mind, even though you're gone
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
I'm extremely lonely and sad
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
I need someone to hold me and comfort me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
I've been alone and wondering why you left
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
I feel very lonely and it's affecting me deeply
Yeah, I still watch the shows you showed me
I still watch the things that remind me of you
I still drink that wine
I still drink the same wine we used to drink together
But these days it tastes more bitter than sweet, hm
It's not as enjoyable anymore because you're not here to share it with me
And all my friends are way too drunk to save me from my phone
My friends are too drunk to help distract me from constantly checking my phone for a message from you
So sorry if I say some things I mean
I might say things that I really mean because I'm feeling so emotional
Miss those nights when you would come over
I miss the times when you were here with me
Spent all night just tryna get closer
We used to spend whole nights together, trying to grow closer
That was June and now it's October
It's been a few months since we were together
I don't want, don't wanna get over
I don't want to move on from you
Mm, mm

Dear reader,
I don't know you and you don't know me.
Probably we are not even living in the same
country. We look different. We speak
different languages. Maybe we are from
entirely different generations. We are just
complete strangers.
But there is something that connects us. We
both have great taste in music
Thank you for being here. God bless you,
whoever you are.
