She Wrote YOUR Favorite Hits… Then Vanished | The Andrea Martin Story

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:34:47 +0000

She wrote the hits you love… but the world never knew her name.

Andrea Martin was one of R&B’s most gifted songwriters, the pen behind Monica’s “Before You Walk Out of My Life,” En Vogue’s “Don’t Let Go (Love),” Angie Stone’s “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” Leona Lewis’s "Better in Time,” and so many more. Her words and melodies shaped a generation, even while the industry kept her in the shadows.

But Andrea’s story isn’t just about hidden genius. It’s also about erasure, exploitation, and a sudden death in 2021 that left fans with more questions than answers. No official cause has ever been revealed. One Instagram post announced her passing, and then silence.

This is the story of Andrea Martin: the ghostwriter who gave us timeless music, but was never given her flowers... until now.
