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.
Unlovable
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I haven't found the one to fix my heart, mmm
So many chances that I'm running out of
Now I'm in the dark
I've been looking for the one to take me as I am
I'm a broken mess, I must confess that
Late at night I wonder
Could anybody love me at all?
So used to being lonely
Could anybody love me at all?
Could anybody love me?
Could anybody love me at all?
So used to being lonely
Could anybody love me at all?
Uh, I fear commitment
Can't stay in one place and so vulnerable, yeah
Fit the description
Some people say I'm unlovable
Still I'm looking for the one to take me as I am
I'm a broken mess, I must confess that
Late at night I wonder
Is there anybody out there who could love me
Could anybody love me at all?
So used to being lonely
Could anybody love me at all?
Could anybody love me?
Could anybody love me at all?
So used to being lonely
Could anybody love me at all?
The song "Unlovable" by Anne-Marie feat. Rudimental reflects the idea of being unable to find true love despite having multiple lovers and chances in life. The first verse talks about the singer having numerous lovers but is yet to find the one to "fix" their heart. The chances are running out, and they are left in the dark. However, they are not giving up and are continuously looking for someone to accept them as they are, even when they are a "broken mess" and "unlovable."
The second verse explains the fear of commitment and vulnerability, which makes it difficult for the singer to find someone who could love them. They are scared of staying in one place and often face judgment and rejection. The chorus repeats the singer's doubts of finding somebody who could love them despite being used to being lonely.
Overall, the song's lyrics depict the struggle of finding true love while dealing with insecurities and emotional baggage. It highlights the need to accept ourselves and our flaws to be vulnerable enough to accept love.
