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.
Tell Your Girlfriend
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never answer your texts
Ooh boy, you're gonna be sorry
When I show all the things that you said
Oh, what a waste to throw it away
And you think it's gon' be okay
But you will be sorry, huh
You can get on your knees
I'm gonna tell your girlfriend
What a liar you are
She's gonna know your secret
It would be my pleasure
How many, how many times do I say no
Before I'm gonna have to go tell your girlfriend
That she deserves better
Yeah, she deserves better, uh
She was always too good for you
And you took her for granted
Would have done anything for you
Don't know how good you had it
She gon' be fine and you're gon' be crying
And you're gonna ask yourself why you took her for granted
Ha
You can get on your knees
You can cry, you can beg, but
I'm gonna tell your girlfriend
What a liar you are
She's gonna know your secret
It would be my pleasure
How many, how many times do I say no
Before I'm gonna have to go tell your girlfriend
That she deserves better
Oh, she'll find someone else
Who's gonna treat her well
And you're just gonna have to live with that
'Cause I'm gonna tell your girlfriend
What a liar you are
She's gonna know your secret
It would be my pleasure
How many, how many times do I say no
Before I'm gonna have to go and tell your girlfriend
That she deserves better (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That she deserves better
That she deserves better
Than you
