Rumour Mill
Anne-Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's on a rumour mill, the word is on the street, I
I don't know how to feel about what you say to me, I
'Cause the body builds, they won't give me no release, I
Had somebody, cheap thrill, no chance of a remedy, no

The bad things be spreading 'round
No, no, let it go, just turn it down
Don't be a fool, don't be a clown
Can't tell me, won't tell me nothin' anyhow
Bad things be spreading 'round
No, no, let it go, just turn it down
Either way I'm coming 'round
Can't tell me, won't turn me down

I, I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say, say, say, say, yeah

It's on a rumour mill, word is on the street, I
I love you so, the feeling's bitter sweet, I
How do you like me now? I'm at the crossroad you can't reach, I
Don't test me now, 'cause it's a test that you can't teach

Bad things be spreading 'round
No, no, let it go, just turn it down
Won't be a fool, won't be a clown
Can't tell me, won't tell me nothin' anyhow
Bad things be spreading 'round
No, no, let it go, just turn it down
Either way I'm coming 'round
Can't tell me, won't turn me down

I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say, say, say, say, yeah
I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say, say, say, say, yeah

Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
It's on a rumour mill
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
It's on a rumour mill
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
It's on a rumour mill
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
It's on a rumour mill
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how
Nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, nothin' anyhow, how

I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say
I don't even care about what they say, say, say, say, yeah
I don't even care about what they say




I don't give a damn what they say about me, no no
Nothin' anyhow, how, how, how

Overall Meaning

Anne-Marie's "Rumour Mill" is a song about gossip and the effects that it can have on a person's life. The lyrics speak about how rumors spread like wildfire and how they can build up inside a person to a point where they feel trapped and unable to escape them. Anne-Marie's voice has a pained quality to it, as though she is struggling with the rumors that are swirling around her.


The chorus of the song is a plea to turn down the volume on the rumor mill. Anne-Marie urges people to not be foolish and to not spread gossip any further. She does not want to be a clown in the eyes of those who are spreading the rumors. The lyrics also make it clear that the singer does not care what people say, but at the same time, the rumors still seem to be affecting her.


Overall, the song is a powerful statement about the damage that rumors can cause. Anne-Marie's vocals and the driving beat of the song add to the urgency of the message.
