After the Pharrell video went viral, several different record labels tried to sign Rogers. She ended up negotiating a contract with Capitol Records where "she licenses her music to them through her own imprint, Debay Sounds." As a result, she has more control over her sound and image than many artists at a similar place in their music careers.
Rogers's EP, Now That the Light Is Fading, was released on February 17, 2017. She released her major-label debut album, Heard It In a Past Life, in January 2019. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200.
She made her television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on February 15, 2017, Saturday Night Live debut on November 3, 2018 and Today Show debut on July 12, 2019.
She cites Carrie Brownstein, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon, and Björk as her musical inspirations, while prominent singers Brandi Carlile and Sharon Van Etten - who she calls her "musical big sisters" - have become mentors. She also mentioned in her initial conversation with Williams that she has synesthesia, a benign condition where one or more senses is perceived at once. In her case, she is able to perceive colours as a response to hearing music.
Anywhere With You
Maggie Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I caught you on the couch, you were havin' a fright all alone
With the TV on
Clothes strewn on the floor, I got down on my knees
You told me everything that you wanted to be all along
Was it wrong?
And I said, "Listen, oh, I know it's been a long, long year
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
Pack up all your shit and put it in the back
Maybe the miles can make up for the things you lack
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
Cruisin' 95 like we got nothin' to lose
I'm praying to the headlights like I prayed to you
Before I found you
Roll the windows down, kill the radio
I'd rather hear the wind than hear that song I'm supposed to know
By some fucking bro
You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
I wanna lose my mind in a hotel room with you
Anywhere would do
I'm sittin' in the back like it's pouring rain
You call me from the heart just to say my, say my name
I'll go anywhere with you
I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
I'll go anywhere with you
Would you tell me if I ever started holdin' you back?
Would you talk me off the guard rail of my panic attack?
Look me straight in my center and tell me from the heart
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to start?
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to start?
Are you ready to start?
You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
If I'm gonna lose my mind, I'm gonna lose it with you
You tell me you want everything, you want it fast
But all I've ever wanted is to make somethin' fuckin' last
I'll go anywhere, I'll go anywhere
I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you

Walked in straight away and slammed the door last night
I entered the room abruptly and forcefully closed the door when I arrived last night
I caught you on the couch, you were havin' a fright all alone
I found you sitting on the couch, visibly scared and feeling distressed while being by yourself
With the TV on
The television was playing in the background
Clothes strewn on the floor, I got down on my knees
There were scattered clothes on the floor, and I kneeled down to be at the same level as you
You told me everything that you wanted to be all along
You confided in me, sharing your long-held aspirations and desires
Was it wrong?
Did expressing your desires in that vulnerable moment feel like a mistake?
And I said, "Listen, oh, I know it's been a long, long year
I responded, saying that I understand that it has been a very challenging year
But I think we should go and get you out of here"
However, I believe it would be beneficial for us to leave this place together
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
I am willing to go to any location, no matter where it is, as long as it's with you
Pack up all your shit and put it in the back
Gather all your belongings and place them in the back of the vehicle
Maybe the miles can make up for the things you lack
Perhaps the distance we travel can compensate for the things you feel are missing in your life
Cruisin' 95 like we got nothin' to lose
Driving along the highway without a care, as if we have nothing to lose
I'm praying to the headlights like I prayed to you
I find myself expressing my hopes and desires to the headlights of the vehicle, just as I would confess to you
Before I found you
Before I discovered you and our connection
Roll the windows down, kill the radio
Lower the windows and turn off the radio
I'd rather hear the wind than hear that song I'm supposed to know
I prefer listening to the sound of the wind rather than the song that is expected of me to know
By some fucking bro
Created by an artist I find uninteresting or unappealing
You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
You express that the idea of being together forever is something you desire strongly and eagerly
I wanna lose my mind in a hotel room with you
I have a longing to completely let go of all my worries and immerse myself in an intimate hotel room experience with you
Anywhere would do
Any place would be suitable for us to escape to
I'm sittin' in the back like it's pouring rain
I am seated in the backseat as if it were raining heavily outside
You call me from the heart just to say my, say my name
You reach out to me emotionally, simply to utter my name
Would you tell me if I ever started holdin' you back?
If I were unintentionally hindering your progress, would you honestly inform me?
Would you talk me off the guard rail of my panic attack?
In times of extreme anxiety, would you be there to comfort and calm me?
Look me straight in my center and tell me from the heart
Directly gaze into the core of my being and sincerely communicate your feelings
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to start?
Are you prepared to embark on a new beginning? Are you truly ready?
You tell me that forever couldn't come too soon
You express once again that forever is a concept that can never arrive too quickly
If I'm gonna lose my mind, I'm gonna lose it with you
If I am destined to go insane, I want it to happen while being with you
You tell me you want everything, you want it fast
You openly express your desire for all-encompassing experiences and a rapid pace in life
But all I've ever wanted is to make somethin' fuckin' last
However, my ultimate desire has always been to create something that endures and stands the test of time
I'll go anywhere, I'll go anywhere
I am willing to venture to any place, no matter where it is
I'll go anywhere with you
I am committed to accompanying you to any location
Anywhere with you
As long as it is with you, any place is acceptable
Anywhere with you
Any location, as long as it involves you, is desirable
I'll go anywhere with you
I am willing to go anywhere as long as I am with you

I'm sitting in the bath like it's pouring rain
You call me from the hall just to say my, say my name
I'll go anywhere with you
I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you

Would you tell me if I ever started holding you back?
Would you talk me off the guard rail of my panic attack?

I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
