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.
Want Love
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every guy and girl in here is acting like a fan
I know by the way that you are looking at me
Just a little touch, and oh theyβll go crazy
Oh, baby, Iβm hotter than fudge
And iβll do what I can to make their blood rush
I know you, I see it in your face
And how could you resist me
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Look at the guy next door
Canβt you see him wanting more
He will be chasing me before you can count to three
Look at these families
They always ask for me
And there is no guarantee that I donβt have their secret key
Hate doesnβt exist here
Cause if they do they love me, dear
Hair, eyes, Iβve got it all
My drop dead looks will make you fall
Show me what I wonβt find
Have you heard that love is blind
Iβll share with you what I can get
But, just make sure you wonβt forget that
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
And some may say that Iβm narcissistic
Some will say Iβm going ballistic
Do you believe the words they say
Or the facts you see each day
They may be right, but itβs up to you
To think of me how you want with your crew
Iβm full of love and I hope you know
That even though everyone loves me, Iβll always fix your bow
My love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love
Everybody wants a bit of my love
I said everybody wants a bit of my love

Oh baby, do you understand
Hey, do you comprehend what's going on right now?
Every guy and girl in here is acting like a fan
Everyone in this place is fawning over me
I know by the way that you are looking at me
By the way you're staring, I can tell
Just a little touch, and oh theyβll go crazy
A simple gesture from me can drive them wild
Oh, baby, Iβm hotter than fudge
I'm incredibly attractive, babe
And iβll do what I can to make their blood rush
I'll do anything to excite them

I recognize you, it's written all over your face
And how could you resist me
It's impossible to resist my charms
Youβve find my hidden place of love
You've discovered the secret source of my affection
Look at the guy next door
Observe the man nearby
Canβt you see him wanting more
Can you not see his desire for me?

Look at these families
Take a look at these families

Reveal to me something I haven't discovered
Have you heard that love is blind
Are you familiar with the saying that love is blind?
Iβll share with you what I can get
I'll offer you what I can provide
But, just make sure you wonβt forget that
But remember, don't forget
And some may say that Iβm narcissistic
Certain individuals might claim I'm self-centered
Some will say Iβm going ballistic
Others will say I'm losing control
Do you believe the words they say
Do you trust the words they speak?
Or the facts you see each day
Or do you rely on the evidence you witness daily?
They may be right, but itβs up to you
They could be correct, but the decision is yours
To think of me how you want with your crew
To perceive me however you wish, with your group
Iβm full of love and I hope you know
I'm overflowing with love, and I hope you recognize
That even though everyone loves me, Iβll always fix your bow
Even though everyone adores me, I'll still take care of you
