"Then" is a song recorded by English singer Anne-Marie. It was released on 15 December 2017 as the fourth single from her debut studio album, Speak Your Mind (2018).[1]
Composition
[edit]"Then" is in the key of D minor, and moves at a tempo of 113 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature.[2] It is described as a mid-tempo song in which Anne-Marie "nostalgically evokes her different love stories, tirelessly repeating 'I loved you' by talking about her ex-girlfriends."[3] The song has been compared to Vaults' song "One Last Night" due to the string plucking in the song's instrumentation.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]Mike Wass of Idolator called the song "an emotional banger" and "[Anne-Marie's] best song of the year".[5]
