Anne-Marie's taken to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to tackle big pop banger "Say You'll Be There" by The Spice Girls.
The BRITs Critics' Choice-shortlisted singer, who scored a Christmas Number One with Clean Bandit and Sean Paul on "Rockabye" twists the pop classic into new shapes, with wiry synths and pulsing percussion. There's even an Elvis Presley-checking breakdown chucked into the fray.
Anne-Marie also performed a version of her new single "Ciao Adios".
