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 to Want Me
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you.
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you.
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, I won't want you.
In Anne-Marie's song "Want to Want Me," the lyrics describe a complex and emotional situation where the singer understands that someday the person they desire will want them, but it will be when they have already fallen in love with someone else. The song explores the conflicting emotions of longing for someone who does not reciprocate their feelings in the present, while also acknowledging that the future may bring a change in their dynamic.
The opening lines express the singer's knowledge that eventually, the person they desire will crave their attention and affection. However, the irony lies in the fact that by that time, the singer will have moved on and fallen in love with someone new. The lyrics suggest that despite the expectation of the other person for the singer to remain true and continue loving them, the singer feels a sense of sadness and melancholy ("though I'm feeling blue") and may struggle to forget them.
The chorus emphasizes this conflict further, as the singer expresses a future time where they will no longer desire the person who currently rejects them. They anticipate a point where they will be strong for someone new, implying personal growth and emotional resilience. The lyrics imply that this newfound strength will lead to the singer no longer wanting the person who currently holds their affection.
In summary, "Want to Want Me" explores the theme of unrequited love and the bittersweet realization that the tables may turn in the future, leaving the singer no longer yearning for the one they desire now.

Lyrics:
You lay here with me, you're shutting down
I smell her on you, I'm focused now
I know what's going on in your head, yeah
I know what's happened here in our bed, yeah
Your phone is buzzing, so pick it up
I know she calling, so what the fuck
I should've known a cheat stays a cheater
So here we are
And there goes the alarm ringing in my head
Like somebody said, "don't you trust him, no"
Texting from his ex, what did you expect?
Now you're lying here knowing where he goes
Now he gotta getcha
Karma is a bitch, yeah
Same way that they come that's the way they go
Now he gotta getcha
Rewinding the picture
There goes the alarm and the sirens go
There goes the alarm
I saw it coming, I let it go
My girls will tell me, "I told you so"
But I was so intrigued by your style, boy
I always been a sucker for a wild boy
I'm better than this, I know my worth
I might be getting what I deserve
But I ain't sticking 'round for the rerun
What's done is done
And there goes the alarm ringing in my head
Like somebody said, "don't you trust him, no"
Texting from his ex, what did you expect?
Now you're lying here knowing where he goes
Now he gotta getcha
Karma is a bitch, yeah
Same way that they come that's the way they go
Now he gotta getcha
Rewinding the picture
There goes the alarm and the sirens go
There goes the alarm
There goes the alarm
Same way that they come
Bang bang, two shots fired
Man down, one fool, one liar
Ring ring, trust gone missing
House on fire, house on fire
Bang bang, two shots fired
Man down, one fool, one liar
Ring ring, trust gone missing
House on fire
And there goes the alarm ringing in my head
Like somebody said, "don't you trust him, no"
Texting from his ex, what did you expect?
Now you're lying here knowing where he goes
Now he gotta getcha
Karma is a bitch, yeah
Same way that they come that's the way they go
Now he gotta getcha
Rewinding the picture
There goes the alarm and the sirens go
There goes the alarm
(Now he gotta getcha)
There goes the alarm
There goes the alarm
(Now he gotta getcha)
There goes the alarm
(He gotta getcha)
There goes the alarm
