Anne-Marie Reveals The Time She Punched Ed Sheeran

Young Hollywood, what is going on? We have Emree here in the studio.

Hi.

Emree, I have a question for you.

Uh-huh.

Can I be a friend?

Yeah.

Yes. I'm Emree's friend, everybody. That wasn't that hard, was it?

That was really easy. I was hoping that yeah, maybe a little struggle. Not challenge we're a little on that. It's easy.

So, the song Friends? Yeah. with Marshmello.

Mhm.

It's pretty awesome. How did you how do you write a song with Marshmello?

Well, you know what? It wasn't even planned. Like, we didn't plan to have a writing session and make a song. He remixed my song Alarm about two years ago. And I loved it so much, but I'd never met him. And he was in London. And my manager was like, "Just go, go to the studio and meet him." And that was just the plan. And it ended up becoming a session. And we wrote this and recorded it in like three hours.

Did he have the helmet on, or the head thing on, the entire time?

The entire time. Yeah.

How did you write? Did he write? Did you with like a whiteboard or anything?

No, he can see what I'm writing.

He see what you're writing?

He has head knots. Yeah, yeah. He goes, "Yeah" when he

I feel like you're on some like NDAs for this. Like, you really can't say what happened.

Maybe. It's all right. It's all right.

Let's talk about the song. Let's talk about the song cuz the the lyrics here are about putting people in friend zones, right?

Yeah.

Is that what you do? Are you putting people in friend zones?

Not every day, but I I always love to write songs that I haven't really heard that like vibe before. Totally. I try and write from different points, even if I am writing about an a cheating boyfriend, which I do quite a lot. I I love to write about different subjects. So, this one, I just thought, "Who's written about this before?" Right. And then I thought, "If anyone wants to put someone in the friend zone, they can just send them this song."

I heard though that you actually are very romantic when it comes to you giving people things on dates. Like, you've given flowers to some.

Yeah, I give flowers to everyone, yeah. Yeah, I love flowers.

To friends or to um, both. Dates?

Yeah, both. Yeah.

Is that weird?

Not at all.

I would love to get some flowers. Who else would like to get some flowers from Emree? Yeah. Everyone's raising their hand. Of course. I was a little nervous to hang out on the couch with you because you're so talented. You have a lot of talents.

Yeah.

Should we just start off with the eyes? Yeah. Cuz I didn't know this taunt until Mary, let's get this eyes real quick here. Yeah. What is you can do with the eyes?

I need to I need to go into I need to look into the mic. You gotta look into the camera. thing. Ready? Can you see it?

Oh, yeah. I saw that. Yeah, we we heard people laughing in the back. I'm glad that came across cuz otherwise it would just be me like going I'm stylist here helping out. I'm stylus here. Thank you. Her stylist is her stylus on point?

Yeah. Well, they're flowers. I love flowers.

You also, let's talk about talents, you're a karate expert?

Mm.

What belt?

Uh, black belt, fourth dan. Um, I'm not messing with you. Yeah, I started when I was nine years old. And then I now I'm three times world karate champion.

What What is that? Um, three times world champion. World champion? Yeah. Have you ever been in in a fist fight before?

Mm. Yeah.

You can tell me. Did you win?

Yeah, yeah. But, you know what? It's it's more like it actually sent me the other way on not fighting because I was a very angry kid. And then I when I started karate, I calmed down.

Now, one of your really good friends, Ed Sheeran. Yeah. He seems like a real sweetheart.

Yeah, he is.

Who do you think would win in a fight between you and Ed Sheeran?

Me.

You would. You didn't even have to finish the question. Did you hear that?

I've told him so many times, and he's like, "Whatever." And then I he got me me to punch his arm one day, just to see how hard I could punch. He goes drinking. And he bruised for like a week.

Okay, so you you have an album coming out. Yeah. You have so many songs that have been on the radio and already smash hits at the beginning of your career. Are these songs going to be on the album?

Yeah, they are. So, Ciao Adios, Alarm. We can name drop, yeah. Um, yeah, you know, Love Lives. Um, Rockabye, Clean Bandit. Yeah, Rockabye's on there and Friends. So, there's a few that people know already, which I love. But then there's also the rest that some people have heard while I've been on tour cuz I toured them. But then some that no one has ever heard. So, I'm excited about those. Those are the ones I'm really excited about.

Well, it was amazing to hang out with you.

Thanks. Thank you.

Can we uh can you give me maybe a karate move on the way out? Cuz I'm not going to lie to you, I took a little karate when I was younger.

Did you?

Yeah, in kindergarten. I can show you one, cuz I took it year one. What you do is you do this. You hold your arms like this. Tell me if I'm right or wrong. You do like that. That's the punch. Oh, okay. Is that right or wrong?

I mean, it's kind of okay. Can I get you to do one of these? How's it really supposed to go? So, first of all, you need to make sure this comes all the way back. You can't just do it like this. So, it comes all the way back and just before you go to get out, then you twist right at the end. But, yeah. See you guys later. We love you.
