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.
What If I Told You That I Love You
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does anyone stay on your mind all time
Cause for me you are the one
For so long
I've kept this secret from you
You
Incase you don't think of me the same
My heart
Don't want this to change
What we have right now
Now
But what if you do
Reciprocate my feelings as true
As true
If told you
I wanted to see you
If I told you
I beg to please you
If I told you
My love won't leave you
What would you say
What would you say
If I told you
That
If I told you
I decided
To write you a letter today
And I placed it
Somewhere only you could find
Cause I can't
Hold it to my chest anymore
Oh I just felt
That you should know
My heart
Has been waiting for you
All this time baby
But I don't want this to change
What we have right now
Now
But what if you do
Reciprocate my feelings as true
If told you
I wanted to see you
If I told you
I beg to please you
If I told you
My love won't leave you
What would you say
What would you say
If I told you
If I told you
I wanted to see you boy
If I told you
I beg I beg I beg to please you
If I told you
My love won't leave you
What would you say
Say Say
What would you say
When you read my letter
Don't move like you ain't never
Been interested
Late summers at your house
Had me right where you wanted
Don't know how you did that
But if you
Deny me for another
Who could never
You better move with the quickness
Hope your worth the chance I'm taking
If I told you
I wanted to see you
If I told you
I beg to please you
If I told you
My love won't leave you
What would you say
What would you say
If I told you
If I told you
In Anne-Marie's song "What If I Told You That I Love You," the singer is filled with the fear of revealing her true feelings to someone she is in love with. She starts the song by asking if this person stays on her mind all the time. In her case, the answer is yes because, for her, this person is the one. However, she has kept this secret from him for a long time. The reason for this could be that she fears that the person might not feel the same way about her, and this could lead to heartbreak. She is afraid of the pain that her heart won't be able to take if the person doesn't reciprocate her feelings.

She contemplates writing him a letter and placing it somewhere where only he could find it. Her heart has been waiting for him all this time, but she is still scared about revealing her true feelings.
In this song, Anne-Marie portrays the vulnerability of a person who is in love with someone but is afraid of speaking out due to the fear of heartbreak.
