“This ain’t another sad girl anthem / I’m headin’ down a different road,” 🎙 Anne-Marie asserts in the first verse of her single, 🎵 “SAD B!TCH”.  Welp, that is a title very on the nose and totally NOT the most family friendly.  It is doubtful that the UK pop singer gives a F—, 😂.  She’s fueled by colorful, ear catching production courtesy of 🎛 Billen Ted and Evan Blair as she eschews sad b!†ch-ness… or something like that.

Final Thoughts 💭 

tears of joySo, will 🎵 “SAD B!TCH” by Anne-Marie change your life or your world? No, but it is a pleasant single. Furthermore, curse words and all, she has a point. Why be sad when you can live and enjoy life to the fullest? She may not eloquently express herself mind you, but everything she serves up on “SAD B!TCH” is intentional.  All in all, it works.
