Marionette

Marionette is the tenth single to be released from singer-songwriter Ashley!'s second studio album, Exclamation Declaration. Written by Elice Claire and produced by Babyface, the song was voted for by the fans to be the fourth single to be lifted from the album and charted at number one upon release. Becoming Ashley's most successful hit both critically and commercially, the single sold 440, 945 becoming Ashley's second platinum selling single after the release of Privacy of the same year. It had strong longevity, charting for 20 continuous weeks.

A slight deviation from Ashley's usual material, the song was described as '50's girl band pop' with hints of 'electro-pop', it was more mid-tempo than her previous releases, but instantly became a fan favourite upon the albums release and hence became a single when Ashley asked the fanbase to decide between Marionette, The Enemy and Saint to be the final single from that edition for the album.
