What If lyrics:
They say there's no such thing as coincidence
A million people tell me, baby, what are the chances
That we connected?
It had to happen exactly that way
I had to do it, had to make those mistakes
It’s true, 'cause it led me to you
What if, what if, if I never felt heartbreak at all?
What if, what if, never knew what it felt like to fall?
What if, what if, tell me how would I know if it's love?
If it’s love?
As I attempt to stage a new love affair
A destined romance
Tell me, baby, what are the chances
We stay connected?
I have to keep him entwined in my arms
If it were my choice, I would never let go, it's true
God, I hope this is true
What if, what if, if I never felt heartbreak at all?
What if, what if, never knew what it felt like to fall?
What if, what if, tell me how would I know if it's love?
If it's love?
What if, what if
What if, what if
How will I know, how will I know
Know
What if, what if, if I never felt heartbreak at all?
What if, what if, never knew what it felt like to fall?
What if, what if, tell me how would I know if it's love?
Love
What if, what if
What if, what if
What if, what if
Love

Amber Mark official bio:
In 2019, Amber Mark was in her bedroom in New York, working through a thicket of feelings. The multi-talented performer couldn’t shake a lingering sense of imposter syndrome. “I was questioning myself a lot, in terms of being an artist, a producer, a singer, a writer. I felt like I could do all of those things, but I couldn’t do any of them really well.” Even with hundreds of millions of streams, a co-sign from Sade and two successful projects to her name by her mid-twenties, she still felt unsure.
And so she poured those worries into the sumptuous, soulful single “Worth It,” which unpacks how quick we can all be to judge ourselves. Its message of self-love serves as a personal mantra for Amber.
Amber has never shied away from complicated emotions. She first wowed listeners in 2017 with EP 3:33am, delving into grieving the tragic death of her mother. In 2018, she turned to the intricacies of romantic love on the deeply rich, multi-genre Conexão EP. And throughout 2020 she delighted fans with sensuous, trap-inflected single “Generous”, her Covered-19 lockdown project – a daringly varied collection of covers.
Sheltering in place during the pandemic allowed Amber to stop and reflect on just how deep Three Dimensions Deep could go. So much of this debut’s reflective maturity and musical ingenuity is rooted in Amber’s upbringing. She lived an unconventional early life, spending a nomadic childhood with her free-spirited mother Mia Mark, after being born on a “spiritual midwifery farm” in Tennessee. The family moved every few years, imbibing the sounds, textures and cultures experienced between Munich, Goa, Berlin and Nepal, before ending up in New York and Miami as Amber hit adolescence. Mia, an artistic music-lover, was her anchor. She scraped together the money for Amber’s first guitar. They were a team. Since her mother’s passing in 2013, their connection has remained strong.
Three Dimensions Deep sweeps between sparkling keys, buzzing synths and insistent rhythms woven together by Amber’s stunning, expressive voice. As ever, she explodes notions of genre, pulling from wah-wah funk in one moment to classic 90s R&B and disco-slick pop the next. She jokes about being “a sucker for some tablas” and a reggaeton-like beat–it would have been easy enough to stick to a comfortable, familiar set of sonics. Instead, she takes risks.
Really, Amber had to face her fears head-on to sound more fearless than ever. “I still get anxiety sometimes, and now it’s almost like I have something to help me get through those moments,” she says. “The album was like therapy to me; it was a release.” She found her way through the web of self-doubt. She found her voice.
