Anne-Marie x KSI x Digital Farm Animals have teamed-up for their uplifting, joint new track, ‘Don’t Play’, which is out now via Asylum/Atlantic. The track is available across all DSPs and you can watch the accompanying official video here.
Underpinned by a fluid garage beat, the heart-on-sleeve track is bridged with Anne-Marie’s world-class vocals, KSI’s effortless flow and Digital Farm Animals’ production, the fruits of which make for hook-laden remedy to beat the January blues.
Tied to a theme of mixed martial arts (an apt narrative, given Anne-Marie is 3 x world Shotokan karate champion), the official video – directed by ROSCOE and starring all artists – embodies the power of ‘the underdog’, showing how anyone can overcome adversity when they put their mind to it.

In the film – which includes an exclusive performance of a new track titled ‘Problems’ – she recounts her difficult school years, the experiences and close bonds she shares with her family and friends back home, as well as the plights on stardom, which she candidly speaks about her with her confidants – Little Mix (watch here).
