She's had SO many bangers!

The London-born singer has featured other artists on a number of her hits over the last few years, including 'Unhealthy' with country legend Shania Twain, which features on her third album - among other huge collaborations.
She's an incredible singer with an impressive career, as well as being a seriously talented songwriter - having penned most of her own songs and even a few for other artists. Anne-Marie has now released a new song called 'Cry Baby', which is a collab with Clean Bandit and David Guetta. While we're waiting for the new song, we've uncovered the meanings behind some of her biggest hits - find out what some of Anne-Marie's songs mean right here...
Anne-Marie's song with Shania Twain
Anne-Marie teamed up with country music icon Shania Twain on the single 'Unhealthy', which was released in May 2023 and reached Number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.
The country-pop song is about someone having a draw to a toxic relationship, despite knowing that it is bad for you. The song's lyrics also refers to the opinions of family and friends, who want her to leave the relationship:
'And my mother says that you're bad for me / Guess she never felt the high we're on right now / And my father says that I should run away / But he doesn't know that I just don't know how.'

Anne-Marie's song with Aitch
Anne-Marie's hit song 'Psycho' is a collaboration with rapper Aitch! Released on 9th September 2022, the track will appear on her upcoming third album - and the music video has now gained over 26 MILLION views on YouTube!
The song is all about someone who is suspicious of their partner cheating on them, realises they're right but is then accused of being a "psycho" during the confrontation. The song interpolates from 90s classic 'Mambo No. 5' by Lou Bega when she lists the women's names that her partner has cheated on her with:
'You met up with Veronica late last night / You had a bit of Elena on the side / Was chattin' up Anita all last week / And now you're doin' Nina, how'd you even meet her? / Hittin' on Bianca, are you dumb? / Got with Alexandra and her mum / You're tellin' every girl they drive you mad / Yet you're callin' me the psychopath.'

Taking to Instagram in a now-deleted post, Anne-Marie thanked her fans for the track's success. She wrote: 'A dump. PSYCHO went top 5 this week after being in the charts for 11 weeks and i just wanna say thank you so much. What the hell! What else has been happening: my hair got stuck in a tree. My Spotify stats are mental. Tattoo removal is painful. My sister won a pair of trainers in a raffle. That’s about it. Oh new music maybe. I love you.'
Anne-Marie and Little Mix - 'Kiss My (Uh Oh)'
Our Annie had a pretty busy 2021, releasing plenty of singles, her second album 'Therapy' AND this incredible collaboration with none other than Little Mix on 'Kiss My (Uh Oh)', which samples the classic 'Never Leave You (Uh Oh)' by Lumidee.
Released on Friday 23rd July 2021, the same day as her album, the track features Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock who all starred in the music video together - despite Perrie and Leigh-Anne being quite heavily pregnant!
The meaning of the song is quite clear in the lyrics - it's from the perspective of a person in a relationship who always makes all the effort, and when they've finally had enough and break up with their other half, that's when they put the time in!
The first verse lyrics are: 'Got my stuff, I'm out the door / Now I'm the one you're begging for / Don't know what you got until it's gone.'
The chorus then goes: 'Why you only love me when I'm walking away? / Only ever want me when I don't want to stay / Love the feeling, hitting different / I'm not ever looking back / While I'm leaving, I see you staring / Go ahead boy, you can kiss my...'
The video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, takes inspiration from iconic 2011 film Bridesmaids, seeing the girls on a hen do celebrating Anne-Marie with Jade taking on Melissa McCarthy's role... It's hilarious!

Anne-Marie's collaboration with Niall Horan: 'Our Song'
'Our Song' is a collaboration with none other than former One Direction star Niall Horan! After the pair had teased a song together for months, it was finally released in May 2021, and appears on Anne-Marie's second album 'Therapy'.
The song is all about two former lovers reflecting on their previous relationship, with each admitting that while they're over each other, they are often reminded of the other person. Lyrics include: 'I've been waking up alone / I haven't thought of her for days / I'll be honest / It's better off this way.'
The chorus lyrics are: 'Just when I think you're gone / Hear our song on the radio / Just like that, takes me back / To the places we used to go / And I've been trying but I just can't fight it / When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling...'

KSI said of working with Anne-Marie: "I was just gassed man. I heard the song and thought, 'Anne-Marie has absolutely made this a hit'. It was a good song but she made it insane. I was so gassed."
The track features additional songwriting from Sam Gumbley AKA S-X... AKA KSI's Celebrity Gogglebox sofa buddy! The song is about a relationship turned sour, with the lyrics explaining how two people had initially been close before one began 'ghosting' the other: 'But now you've just gone missin'... / ...You're online, but still won't listen.'

What is 'Problems' about?
The song is about a relationship in which two people seem to be utterly dependent on each other - bordering on toxic. It includes lyrics like: 'I think being in love with you is bad for my health', and: 'Yeah, I know today I called you like a hundred times, but / Yesterday you called me like a hundred and five.'

Anne-Marie - 'To Be Young' featuring Doja Cat
Anne-Marie's song 'To Be Young' features Doja Cat! The single, released on 16th July 2020, is all about enjoying the here and now instead of putting too much stock into planning for the future. Lyrics include: 'They tell me I should make a plan for life / All I'm thinking bout is what to do tonight.'
Anne-Marie told us all about how the collaboration came about in July 2020, saying: "I basically wrote this song in October and I left a space there for someone to be on and I didn't know who it was going to be. We kind of just left it open, and it wasn't until lockdown happened and she heard the song and she just said 'I want to be on it'.
"The next day she wrote her verse and recorded it and sent it back, and I remember being in the car and listening to it for the first time and I just had goosebumps all over my body, and I was just like, 'This is perfect.' It was amazing, I think she's so great."

The song appears in the film when two characters from very different backgrounds are discussing whether they could ignore the social issues surrounding their relationships and be together anyway. Anne-Marie and James also recreated part of the film in the music video.
The lyrics to the chorus are: 'What if we rewrite the stars? / Say you were made to be mine / Nothing could keep us apart / You'd be the one I was meant to find / It's up to you, and it's up to me / No one can say what we get to be / So why don't we rewrite the stars? / Maybe the world could be ours tonight.'

Anne-Marie's song 'Perfect To Me'
Anne-Marie has long been known for her body positivity, and for being a fantastic role model when it comes to self-love and accepting yourself. She released track 'Perfect To Me' - originally just called 'Perfect' - in November 2018.
The chorus lyrics are: 'Don't feel like putting makeup on my cheeks / Do what I wanna / Love every single part of my body / Top to the bottom / I'm not a supermodel from a magazine / I'm okay with not being perfect / 'Cause that's perfect to me.'
She spoke about being a role model, saying that she'd give her younger self the advice to "not worry" so much.
She said: "I used to worry about everything possible. I used to worry what people would think of me, what I look like," adding that she looked up to Christina Aguilera, Lauryn Hill and P!nk when she was younger.

The song is all about a couple talking about how much they mean to each other, and how they wouldn't be able to cope if they split up or weren't together anymore. The verse lyrics are: 'I don't know if I would be alive today / With or without you like night and day / Read and repeat every conversation / Being with you, everyday's a Saturday / But every Sunday you've got me praying.'
The chorus goes: 'Don't you ever leave me, don't you ever go / I've seen it on TV, I know how it goes / Even when you're angry, even when I'm cold / Don't you ever leave me, don't leave me alone.'

The chorus lyrics are: 'Haven't I made it obvious? / Haven't I made it clear? / Want me to spell it out for you? / F-R-I-E-N-D-S.'
Anne-Marie told Harpers Bazaar: "I think it's quite a funny subject. It might be a bit awkward for some people who are actually being put in the friend zone. I just try and write songs that I haven't really heard a lot. I haven't really heard that many songs about that kind of subject.
"To be honest, I've kind of just told people that if they need to give anyone more of a hint, then just send them this song now."

Hot off the back of her success on 'Rockabye', Anne-Marie released 'Ciao Adios' in November 2016, appearing on her debut album 'Speak Your Mind'. The song reached Number 9 in the UK, her first Top 10 UK hit.
The song is all about discovering that a partner is cheating, and instead of wasting any more time on the relationship, saying 'goodbye' to it. Ciao and Adios both mean 'goodbye' in Italian and Spanish respectively.
The chorus lyrics are: 'I'm onto you, yeah you / I'm not your number one / I saw you, with her / Kissing and having fun / If you're giving all of your money and time / I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you / Ciao adios, I'm done.'

Anne-Marie on 'Rockabye' by Clean Bandit with Sean Paul

The song was released in October 2016 and spent a whopping nine weeks at Number 1, and won the coveted Christmas Number 1 spot in 2016. It was also Anne-Marie's first Number 1.
The song was written by Anne-Marie with Ina Wroldsen, who was originally meant to appear on the single but was swapped for Anne-Marie. Ina wrote the lyrics about her son, and the song tells the story of a single mother working all the hours under the sun to provide for her child.
The chorus lyrics are: 'She tells him "ooh love" / No one's ever gonna hurt you, love I'm gonna give you all of my love / Nobody matters like you / She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life / You're gonna grow and have a good life / I'm gonna do what I've got to do".'

Additionally, the bridge goes: '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, oh.'

The lyrics to the one of the verses are: 'It's on a rumour mill, word is on the street, I / I love you so, the feeling's bitter sweet, I / How do you like me now? I'm at the crossroad you can't reach I / Don't test me now, 'cause it's a test that you can't teach.'

The chorus lyrics are: 'Work hard on me / Like karate / Cause your body is what I need / So work with me / Be a part of me / Like I want you to be / Like karate.'
The music video features Anne-Marie performing some karate moves, and also karate-inspired dance moves. Although it didn't chart in the UK, it did appear on her EP 'Karate', released in July 2015.

Clean Bandit shared the music video on their YouTube account, which shows the band, along with Anne-Marie on the 'Cry Baby Express' train, driven by Clean Bandit members Jack and Luke Patterson, while Grace Chatto serves tea, and plays the cello on the top of the train!
David said he was 'super happy' they were able to make the record together, saying on Instagram: ' "The way it happened is, we have Anne-Marie as a common friend and you know that she sent me this song, and I was like what is this? This is fire, so the music wins over anything and your music has always been so beautiful.'
