In “2002,” Anne-Marie reminisces about falling in love as an 11-year-old and all the songs that soundtracked that romance. She had some help from Ed Sheeran to write this track.
During the song’s chorus, she references six songs released in the late 1990s and early 2000s, like Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,...
[Verse 1]
I will always remember
The day you kissed my lips
Light as a feather
And it went just like this
No, it's never been better than the summer
Of 2002 (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
We were only eleven
But acting like grown-ups
Like we are in the present
Drinking from plastic cups
Singing, "Love is forever and ever"
Well, I guess that was true (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Dancin' on the hood in the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
[Chorus]
Oops, I got 99 problems, singin' "bye, bye, bye"
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singin' at the top of both our lungs
[Verse 3]
Now we're under the covers
Fast forward to eighteen
We are more than lovers
Yeah, we are all we need
When we're holdin' each other
I'm taken back to 2002 (Ooh)
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Dancin' on the hood in the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
[Chorus]
Oops, I got 99 problems, singin' "bye, bye, bye"
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singin' at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
On the day we fell in love
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Dancin' on the hood in the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
Oh, now
[Chorus]
Oops, I got 99 problems, singin' "bye, bye, bye"
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young
Singin' at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
On the day we fell in love
Ooh, ooh
On the day we fell in love
Ooh, ooh
On the day we fell in love
Ooh, ooh
On the day we fell in love, love, love

Anne-Marie released 2002 on Fri Apr 20 2018.
It is all about that year, when I was that age just listening to that music that I loved at that time. You know, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott […] All of these songs. Yeah, it just takes me back to that time.
–Anne-Marie for Luvpop
I guess childhood. I think it’s just a really different song from other songs. I love to talk about heartbreak and bad, sad times and this song is really different and just makes me reminisce about being a kid and I loved being a kid.
Steve Mack and I, we’ve been working with each other for nearly four years now, just on loads of songs. So he produced loads of songs for my album and I just love working with him. He’s done like some of the biggest songs in the history of our life and he’s so cool. You just go there to the studio a...
When I first got in the studio together, it was actually Ed on the guitar and that was what I recorded my vocal to. And then Steve Mack took it up and produced it into what you hear now. But I never was actually in the studio with Benny when they originally wrote the song. And I basically went into...
I went to the studio with Ed and basically, just went from there to recording it in his room, and then went to Steve Mack’s studio and recorded it again. And then Steve produced it up and I love to get really involved in the production because, you know, I think that’s as much of a part of it as the...
