British singer-songwriter Anne-Marie released her brand new single ‘Don’t Panic’ and took the opportunity to announce her second pregnancy with partner and famous rapper Slowthai. The song is the opener of her two new track project ‘Act 1: If You’re Looking For A New Best Friend’ which follows her last release ‘Unhealthy’ back in 2023. Th new song delves into the inner turmoil and anxiety that the singer faces in her daily life.
The Essex pop singer took to social medias yesterday to reveal her second pregnancy. She welcomed her first child back in April 2024 after secretly tying the knot to rapper boyfriend Slowthai in Las Vegas back in 2022. The news came shortly after Anne-Marie opened up about her “most beautiful yet hardest year”, following her husband recently being cleared from the rape allegations against him from two women at a house party in 2021.
Anne-Marie has previously supported artists such as Shania Twain at her BST Hyde Park Show in London in the summer of 2024 after collaborating together on the title track of Anne-Marie’s last album ‘Unhealthy’.
Her latest release also features the song called ‘I Don’t Like Your Boyfriend’, a track where she talks about her dislike towards her friend’s boyfriend where the other track focuses more on her inner turmoil. Lead track ‘Don’t Panic’ is a raw and powerful song that delves into the chaotic reality of anxiety and inner turmoil. With haunting imagery and vulnerable lyrics, it captures the relentless whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that accompany feelings of panic. Yet, amidst the storm, Anne-Marie makes a poignant plea for calm and self-compassion.
Anne- Marie says: ”These songs are intended to be the realisation that in searching for a friend, sometimes you’re the only friend you’ll ever need. Apart from me, I can be your best friend, right!?”
