about

Embracing the French language with ‘Je Ne Serais Pas Là’, Annie flirts with both English and French lyrics -"Que tu n'es plus sous mon charme - That you are no longer under my charm." Performing the song on a grand piano at a chateau, Annie’s realisation to turn the song into an actual recording, led to her hooking up with producer prodigy, Lxury.

Lxury and Annie quietly cut themselves off in Annie’s winnebago in Cornwall where they created an entirely different version to the stripped back song. Lxury, first coming up with something on a Solina string patch, editing Annie’s vocals into separate mini catchy riffs, really capturing the elements of the song. Then adding the bubbling bassline, with the rhythmic stronghold of the track and seamlessly bringing everything together.

lyrics

Verse 1
She tried to let you in, you deceived her
Where's the branded skin?
And favours
Do you sing me?
I still come

Bridge
As your hand caresses, that's my O dreaming
That I, no longer have your charms
Que tu n'es plus sous mon charme

Chorus
I know that I do you good baby
These times your body's too good to call you baby
I know, je sais, it's been a long time coming
I feel you hardest on my own

Verse 2
Come on scream, I can't hear you

Bridge
As your hand caresses, that's my O dreaming
That I, no longer have your charms
Que tu ne's plus sous mon charme

Chorus
I know that I am good for you baby

Coda
Je ne serais pas là
Je ne serais pas là
Je ne serais pas là
Je ne serais pas là
Je ne serais pas là (These times your body's too good to call you baby)
Je ne serais pas là (I know, je sais it's been a long time coming)
