Written and recorded alongside Kamille, The McDonough Brothers, Billen Ted, Evan Blair, and Nami, UNHEALTHY bridges topics of sadness, anger, joy, rebellion, and euphoria. The album’s thirteen tracks include gutsy empowerment anthems (“TRAINWRECK,” “GRUDGE”), tender, vulnerable streaks (“KILLS ME TO LOVE YOU,” “YOU & I”).

Ahead of her upcoming third studio album UNHEALTHY, British pop star Anne-Marie has dropped her new single, “Trainwreck.” Produced by Billen Ted (Raye, Becky Hill) and written by Anne-Marie, Kamille (Dua Lipa) and Plested (Lewis Capaldi), the song captures the sweet relief of breaking free from a bad relationship.

Anne-Marie featuring Shania Twain’s ‘UNHEALTHY’, produced by Conor and Riley McDonough (Jonas Brothers, Joji, John Legend), is the perfect pop/country tonic.

The new single ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’, which premiered at Ultra Miami this week, is another dance smash, featuring two pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray.
