Fans were also given a sneak peek a what looks like the behind-the-scenes of a music video from the song, with Anne-Marie and Aitch in a restaurant booth and the message: 'Something is coming...'
Earlier this month, Anne-Marie, who is currently on tour, even shared some of what the new song sounds like with a couple of teasers, including one from the studio writing: 'Sorry if your name is Veronica, Elena, Anita, Nina, Bianca or Alexandra 😬😬 #psycho'.
Before that, she shared a video showing photos from a recent gig in Newmarket, where her song was teased along with 'chopped up' images from the gig, captioning it: 'NEWMARKET RACECOURSE last night. Thank you for having me✨your faces were a beautiful sight to see 😍 📸: @willbeach__ #PYSCHO'.
In the clips shared, Anne-Marie can be heard singing about a 'boyfriend' who has been seeing a lot of other women but is calling her a psychopath.
Anne-Marie's posts have attracted the attention of several other artists with Mabel, Tom Grennan and David Guetta all liking them.
What is Anne-Marie's new song called?
Anne-Marie's new song is called 'Psycho', which she first revealed using the song name as a hashtag on social media.
What are the lyrics to Anne-Marie's 'Psycho'?
In the clip Anne-Marie has shared she can be heard singing the lyrics:
"You say how much you respect women / I'm buying you meals / I'm paying your bills / While you're out here switching positions / Call me crazy all you like / Turns out I was f--king right!
"You met up with Veronica late last night / You a bit of Elena on the side / Was chatting up Anita all last week / And now you're doing Nina, how'd you even meet her?
"Hitting on Bianca are you dumb? / Got with Alexandra and her MUM! / Your telling every girl they drive you mad / Yet you're calling me the PSYCHOPATH!"
Does Anne-Marie use a sample on 'Psycho'?
As you can see in the lyrics above, the song shares similarities with the old 90s disco banger 'Mambo No. 5' by Lou Bega. Although technically not a sample, it's an interpolation - meaning that the original has been reworked by the new artist, instead of using a piece of the original sound within the song.
