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.
Used to Love You
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody but you
Nobody but
Do I make you nervous
When I look in your eye?
Don't you look away
When I ask you why
When you wanna go
Dancing with other ladies
While I'm here at home
Was it something that I done?
Am I being dumb?
I did nothing wrong
Didn't take to love me
You just straight away
What happened to us?
You don't give a fuck
All about the trust
You were so in love
Ain't that what you said?
Boy, I've had enough
Yeah, I called your bluff
Lucky you were drunk
And you ended up
Too dosed away
Nearly had me out
Now I gotta go
Didn't see that coming at all
I used to love (you)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
You won't see no tears
They all dried up yesterday
(You)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
Do I spark the fear that
I'm gonna walk away
Say you wanna fix it
You won't tell no more lies
I used to believe that
God help my pride
No, I don't wanna talk
Just leave me alone
You wanna see me later
But believe me I'm gone
Benefit of the doubt
Too many to count
Moving forward now
And I won't get down
With you now in my way
Nothing more to say
God, I hope and pray
That I'll be ok
I wanted to make and start a family
But it didn't get that far
Imagine us
Gotta listen to your gut
'Cause it's showing you the way
Nearly had me out
Now I gotta go
Didn't see that coming at all
I used to love (you)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
You won't see no tears
They all dried up yesterday
(You)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
Do I spark the fear that
I'm gonna walk away
Goodbye, baby
Next time, maybe
Oh what a shame
Now take the blame
I used to love (you)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
You won't see no tears
They all dried up yesterday
(You)
Nobody but (you)
Took me for a (fool)
Do I spark the fear that
I'm gonna walk away
Yeah, used to love you
Nobody but you
You won't see no tears
They all dried up yesterday
Nobody but you
Do I spark the fear that
I'm gonna walk away
The song "Used to Love You" by Anne-Marie is about a relationship that has ended and the emotions that come with it. The chorus implies that Anne-Marie used to love her partner, but now she has moved on and won't shed any tears over him. In the first verse, Anne-Marie questions her partner's actions towards her, pointing out how he wants to go out dancing with other women instead of staying home with her. She is confused about his true intentions and wonders if she has done something wrong to make him act this way.
In the second verse, Anne-Marie talks about how her partner is trying to salvage the relationship and fix things, but she is not interested in trying anymore. She is hurt and angry about how he has treated her, and she just wants to be left alone. The bridge of the song suggests that while Anne-Marie had envisioned starting a family with her partner, that ideal has been shattered because he did not prioritize their relationship. Overall, the song is about moving on from a toxic relationship and realizing that the love that once existed is no longer there.

Why you ask me to stay
When you wanna go
Dancing with other ladies
While I'm here at home
I want to know why you request that I stay, only to go off and dance with other women while leaving me behind.
What happened to us?
You don't give a fuck
All about the trust
You were so in love
Ain't that what you said?
I'm confused about how we got to this point where you don't care about our relationship, trust, or the love you declared for me.
Benefit of the doubt
Too many to count

This chorus reflects on how I used to love you, but now I realize that you took me for granted and made me look foolish. You won't see any tears because I've cried them all already, and maybe the idea of me walking away is what worries you now.
Goodbye, baby
Next time, maybe
Oh what a shame
Now take the blame
I'm saying goodbye to you now, and while there may be a chance for us in the future, it's not worth it if you don't own up to your mistakes and take responsibility.
