The standard route for an Austrian artist to reach international fame is to first take over Austria and after that go for Germany, and Anna-Sophie is playing that game like a pro. Anna-Sophie cracked that german music market nut by getting on daily rotation for months on end on one of the biggest, most influential radio stations in Germany: Bayern 3. You know the drill, you get one - you get them all. Shortly after Germany's second-biggest radio station Bayern 1 started playing her. After being played on Bayern 1 & 3 numerous other radio stations followed, not just from Germany but far across the borders of the DACH-Region. Anna-Sophie is getting up to 200 radio plays a day in over 15 countries worldwide.
Anna-Sophie has reached the Austro-charts, Shazam charts, and iTunes charts with several of her songs. She was featured in the famous "Viral 50 Austria" Spotify editorial Playlist. She has 230.000 monthly listeners and well over 5.5 million streams on Spotify.
There are no questions left regarding Anna-Sophie being a success story, she has already proven that she is one in fact.

Anna-Sophie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was an air force wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then he turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
Flying to Cambodia
But then a call came through
He said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a Rendez-Vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia
Flying to Cambodia
Cambodia
The song "Cambodia" by Anna-Sophie depicts a story of a couple whose lives are suddenly turned upside down when the husband receives a mysterious call, and he leaves for Cambodia in a hurry. The couple had been leading a peaceful, easy-going life in Thailand, where the husband flew on weekends while his wife, a former air force officer, supported him. However, the husband's sudden departure left the wife in despair, and she tried to find clues about what happened to her husband, only to realize that she may never know the truth.
The song deals with multiple themes, such as loss, betrayal, love, and the impact of war on families. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the woman's struggle to come to terms with the situation, and it leaves a lasting impression on the listener. Anna-Sophie's soulful voice, coupled with the emotional lyrics, makes "Cambodia" a powerful and poignant song that touches the heartstrings.

Well he was Thailand based
He lived in Thailand
She was an air force wife
She was married to someone in the air force
He used to fly weekends
He used to fly on weekends
It was the easy life
Their life was easy and comfortable
But then he turned around
However, he suddenly changed
And he began to change
He started to behave differently
She didn't wonder then
She didn't question his behavior at the time
She didn't think it strange
She didn't find it odd or unusual
But then he got a call
One day, he received a phone call
He had to leave that night
He had to leave immediately
He couldn't say too much
He couldn't tell her much about the phone call
But it would be alright
He reassured her that everything would be okay
He didn't need to pack
He didn't have to pack anything
They'd meet the next night
They planned to meet the next night
He had a job to do
He had a task to complete
Flying to Cambodia
He was traveling to Cambodia by plane
And as the nights passed by
As time went on
She tried to trace the past
She tried to remember how things used to be
The way he used to look
How he used to physically appear
The way he used to laugh
His laughter, how it used to sound
I guess she'll never know
She'll probably never find out
What got inside his soul
What was troubling him internally
She couldn't make it out
She couldn't understand why he changed
Just couldn't take it all
She was having a hard time dealing with everything
He had the saddest eyes
He had a very sad facial expression
The girl had ever seen
The saddest expression she had ever witnessed
He used to cry some nights
He used to cry on certain nights
As though he lived a dream
As if he was living a nightmare
And as she held him close
As she embraced him
He used to search her face
He used to look intently at her face
As though knew the truth
As if he knew something important
Lost inside Cambodia
Lost in Cambodia, mentally and emotionally
But then a call came through
Suddenly, she received a call from him
He said he'd soon be home
He informed her that he'd be returning soon
She had to pack a case
She needed to pack her things
And they would make a Rendez-Vous
They planned to meet up
But now a year has passed
After a year has gone by
And not a single word
She hasn't heard from him at all
And all the love she knew
All the love they had shared previously
Has disappeared out in the haze
Has vanished, like it never existed
Cambodia
The place that caused their separation
