Anne Marie Bush has never been one to walk the easy road. For years, the Danish powerhouse has carved out her own space in the global music scene, relying not on trends but on fearless authenticity. Now, with the release of her brand-new single “Stuck on Rewind” (out August 29th, 2025), she raises the bar once more – delivering a track that is at once moody, sensual, and emotionally profound.
Written, recorded, produced, arranged, and programmed entirely by Anne Marie in her Copenhagen-based AMB Studio, the single is a shimmering blend of atmospheric pop, R&B soul, and shadowy electronic textures. The result is a track that feels cinematic in scope yet intimate in delivery, embodying Anne Marie’s unique ability to fuse universes: the universal with the personal, the mainstream with the avant-garde, and the polished with the raw.
At the heart of “Stuck on Rewind” lies a love story that defies closure. It’s not the fleeting spark of a crush, nor the fragile intensity of young love. Instead, Anne Marie explores the gravity of what she calls “soulmate connection” – that magnetic pull toward someone who never truly leaves you, even when they’re gone.
The lyrics read like an emotional diary of a love that lingers in the bloodstream. The opening lines convey the futility of escape: no matter how many times she tries to walk away, memories creep back like ghosts in familiar melodies and signs. It’s a poetic articulation of how music itself becomes the trigger for remembrance – how every song can reopen wounds while simultaneously rekindling warmth.
What makes the writing compelling is its refusal to romanticize the struggle. This isn’t just a song of longing – it’s one of conflict. Lines about fighting, fading, breaking, and bending show a relationship caught in cycles of destruction and renewal. Yet, rather than wallowing in despair, Anne Marie embraces the paradox: the lover is both a risk and a refuge, a wound and a cure.
The recurring metaphor of being “stuck on rewind” crystallizes the central theme: when love is that powerful, the story doesn’t play out in linear time. Instead, it loops, echoing endlessly, like a record that won’t stop spinning.
Musically, “Stuck on Rewind” mirrors its lyrical intensity with a soundscape that is both sleek and immersive. Anne Marie’s production is masterfully balanced – sultry R&B undertones and moody pop textures blend seamlessly with subtle hip-hop inflections. The rhythm is warm and soulful, providing a heartbeat that grounds the song’s emotional turbulence.
Layered atop this sonic bed is Anne Marie’s unmistakable voice, a rare instrument in itself. Airy yet earthy, intimate yet commanding, her vocals glide through the verses with quiet vulnerability before soaring in the chorus. There’s an almost hypnotic quality to her phrasing: unhurried, deliberate, and drenched in feeling. Each note seems carefully placed to echo the weight of memory, the ache of desire, and the stubborn flame of hope.
The production, co-mixed with Thomas Nordild – who also mastered the track at Sonictale Studio, DK – feels deliberately cinematic. Deep bass pulses anchor the verses, while shimmering synths and subtle percussive layers create an atmosphere that is both sultry and haunting. It’s a sonic world that swallows you whole, a paradise tinged with shadows, where beauty and danger coexist.
When Anne Marie sings about goodbyes spoken “a thousand times” yet undone by the pull of familiar signs, she captures the maddening paradox of love that won’t dissolve. Later, the imagery of fire and ashes transforms longing into a visceral experience: love as both a scorch and a necessity, destruction as a kind of devotion.
One of the most striking lyrical moments comes in the admission of craving risk – the acknowledgment that love isn’t safe, nor is it meant to be. The repetition of “same scene, same pain, same line” evokes the claustrophobia of being caught in cycles, but also the inevitability of choosing them again and again.
The song’s bridge pulls the emotion into sharper relief: the idea that maybe it’s madness, maybe fate, but either way it’s inescapable. Here, Anne Marie’s writing transcends mere storytelling. It touches the universal truth of love that feels preordained – dangerous yet divine, flawed yet fated.
Anne Marie Bush’s artistry extends far beyond vocals and lyrics. True to her independent spirit, she commanded every aspect of this release, from the songwriting to the programming to the arrangement. Her years honing her craft in Los Angeles alongside some of the industry’s finest gave her the technical foundation; her fearless return to Copenhagen cemented her self-sufficiency.
With “Stuck on Rewind”, she yet again delivers her independent vision. Not content with shaping only the sonic experience, she has also produced and edited the upcoming music video herself, ensuring that the visuals align seamlessly with the emotional architecture of the song. This duality – artist as both soundscaper and storyteller – places Anne Marie in a rare echelon of musicians who truly own their craft from top to bottom.
To listen to “Stuck on Rewind” is to be pulled into Anne Marie Bush’s orbit – where vulnerability and strength coexist, where heartbreak is transformed into beauty, and where every note feels like both a wound and a balm.
The song doesn’t resolve neatly, nor does it offer closure. Instead, it mirrors the very experience it describes: you find yourself hitting replay, caught in its loop, living its emotions again and again. And perhaps that’s the point. Some loves, like some songs, aren’t meant to end – they’re meant to be relived.
With this release, Anne Marie proves once again that she is far more than a singer or songwriter. She is a complete artist – a creator who shapes her own universe, invites us in, and dares us to feel deeply within it. “Stuck on Rewind” – released via AMB Records/AMB Music – is Anne Marie’s latest statement of intent, yet another declaration that her artistry is as timeless as the love she sings about.
As she continues to bridge emotional storytelling with infectious pop sensibilities, Anne Marie Bush stands as one of the most dynamic and self-reliant voices in today’s music scene. And if this track is any indication, her story is not only stuck on rewind – it’s destined to keep playing forward.
