2. Anne-Marie shares how she decided on her song for Concert for Ukraine

   

   Anne-Marie's songs are all about cheating exes

   

   While speaking to Capital's Siân Welby and Heart's Dev Griffin backstage about when she was asked to perform at Concert for Ukraine, Anne-Marie said: "I think we all want to help as much as possible and sometimes you feel helpless... but hopefully me being here in some way helps raise a lot of money."

   The evening's hosts also quizzed her on why she picked the songs she did for the evening, to which Anne-Marie explained: "It was quite hard. Most of my songs are about cheating ex-boyfriends which I thought wouldn't really fit. I've got maybe two I thought would fit this, and one is obviously 'Beautiful' and I just feel like even in the video I did – it was about a Syrian refugee that came over to the UK – it just feels right, so hopefully people will like it."
