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.
Where Do You Go to
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've never seen you like you are today
My love, you're so very far away
And I can't get inside you
I cannot get to where the secret lies
Past those shadows in your eyes.
Where do you go when you dream
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me
How could it ever be?
But tell me how to bring you back
Should I be distant too
Oh no, I couldn't be that way with you
You know you can be honest
If there's something wrong then tell me so
But darlin' I just need to know.
Where do you go when you dream
And is there someone with you
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me.
Where do you go when you dream
And is there someone with you
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me...
In "Where Do You Go to," Anne-Marie expresses her concern and confusion about the emotional distance she feels from her loved one. She notices a change in their demeanor and feels that they are emotionally distant and preoccupied. This is evident in the lines "You've been moody and distracted, but I've never seen you like you are today, my love, you're so very far away." Anne-Marie longs to connect with her partner but feels like she cannot penetrate the walls they have built around themselves, as portrayed in the line "And I can't get inside you, I cannot get to where the secret lies, past those shadows in your eyes."
The main question in the song revolves around where her partner goes mentally and emotionally when they dream. She wonders if there is someone else in their dreams with them, and what they do that they don't do with her. This suggests that Anne-Marie feels excluded from some part of her partner's life, specifically their inner thoughts and dreams. It highlights her desire to be part of this intimate experience.
She urges her partner to open up and communicate their concerns and emotions, assuring them that she is willing to listen and be there for them. Anne-Marie says, "But tell me how to bring you back, should I be distant too, oh no, I couldn't be that way with you. You know you can be honest, if there's something wrong then tell me so, but darlin' I just need to know."
Overall, "Where Do You Go to" explores the theme of emotional distance and the longing for connection in a relationship. Anne-Marie is searching for answers, trying to understand where her partner goes mentally and emotionally when they disconnect from her. She wants to bridge that gap and be a part of their dreams and innermost thoughts, hoping to regain the emotional intimacy they once had.
Line by Line Meaning
You've been moody and distracted
You've been showing signs of being unhappy and preoccupied with something
But I've never seen you like you are today
However, I've never seen you in this state before
My love, you're so very far away
My love, you feel emotionally distant and unreachable
And I can't get inside you
I'm unable to understand your thoughts and feelings
I cannot get to where the secret lies
I'm unable to reach the hidden truth and understand what's bothering you
Past those shadows in your eyes
Beyond the darkness and sadness reflected in your eyes
Where do you go when you dream
Where does your mind wander off to when you're lost in dreams
And is there someone with you
Are you sharing those dreams with someone else
And what do you do
What experiences or actions do you have in your dreams
You don't do with me
That you don't involve me in
Is the morning as beautiful there
Is the waking reality as wonderful and fulfilling as your dream world
As when you share a dream with me
When you include and share your dreams with me, making our relationship stronger
But tell me how to bring you back
Please guide me on how to reconnect with you emotionally
Should I be distant too
Should I also keep my distance and withhold my emotions
Oh no, I couldn't be that way with you
No, I couldn't pretend to be distant and detached from you
You know you can be honest
You're aware that you can be open and truthful with me
If there's something wrong then tell me so
If there's an issue or problem, please communicate it to me
But darlin' I just need to know
But my love, I simply need to understand

Do It Right - Lyric
Anne-Marie
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right
I remember when this all started
Sex was carnage, this one's lasting
I was like, I was like cupid callin'
He's my darling
Things are gwanin
Yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
The only thing on my mind
All the time, no appetite
Always wanna bite, just my type
This one's mine
And there's never been a human being so good for me
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right, yeah yeah
If we're gonna do this, do it right
If it's me and you, we gotta fight, yeah yeah
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right
We gotta do it, oh we gotta do it right
I remember when we were dancing
Non stop laughing, he's so charming
Oh, oh, and we were up till morning
House is pouring, I adore him
Yeah yeah
The only thing on my mind
All the time, no appetite
Always wanna bite, just my type
This one's mine
It's never been a human being so good for me
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right, yeah yeah
If we're gonna do this, do it right
If it's me and you, we gotta fight, yeah yeah
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right
We gotta do it, oh we gotta do it right
If we're gonna do this, do it right
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I say if we're gonna do it, do it
I say if we're gonna do it, do it
I say if we're gonna do it, do it right, yeah yeah

It’s okay if it’s underrated at least we all the people who listen to this amazing song has a good taste because we are lucky to already know this song because others are not. But this song still deserves to be a smash hit in 2016.
