After studying jazz in college, and drawing on the warmth of R&B and poppier trap sounds, ASTN started making projects like December 2017’s 'Tell Your Friends,' which included the surprise hit ballad “Love No More.” He demonstrated even more depth as a songwriter on last June’s 'IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS' and showed his progress as a boundary-pushing producer on his “what if this song was rnb?” remix series on social media.
In early November 2021, ASTN posted a TikTok remix of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” transforming the track into a nostalgic slow jam. The clip resonated, clocking four million views in one night before exploding to 56.6 million in two months, leading to the demand for—and release of—a full-length cover.
Now, with the release of "Gradually" and more new music on the way, ASTN is ready to share what he has been carrying in his heart all along. He says, “Even if it’s not this relationship you’re in, if it’s not this battle you’re fighting now, you are almost there, whether ‘there’ is a million miles down the road or a couple feet ahead of you. I’m living proof of that.” With his new music and the support of Warner Music, his message is destined to reach more people than ever before.

AsTN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I swear you don't appreciate all the things I'm doing for you
And I've been runnin' 'round all day, picking these flowers for you
Oh yeah
I swear you don't appreciate me
There really ain't that much to say
'Cause, baby, I ain't got room for a broken heart
Had it working overtime until we broke apart
I was broken down, girl
So, I ain't got room for you
No more, no more
So, I ain't got room for you, yeah
(So, I ain't got room for you)
I've been running' 'round all day, I put in those hours for you
I know you don't appreciate all the things I'm losing for you (yeah)
There's no coming right back
I'm getting my mind back
And, girl, if I hurt you
Well you should go ice that
'Cause I don't say sorry no more
I know that I'll just be ignored
And haven't we been here before?
I know that we've done this before, yeah
I've been runnin' 'round all day, picking these flowers for you
I swear you don't appreciate all the things I'm doing for you
And I've been runnin' 'round all day, picking these flowers for you
Oh yeah
I swear you don't appreciate me
There really ain't that much to say
'Cause, baby, I ain't got room for a broken heart
Had to throw it out, no use in broken parts
Had it working overtime until we broke apart
I was broken down, girl
So, I ain't got room for you
No more, no more
So, I ain't got room for you, yeah
(So, I ain't got...)
'Cause, baby, I ain't got room for a broken heart
Had to throw it out, no use in broken parts
Had it working overtime until we broke apart
I was broken down, girl
So, I ain't got room for you
No more, no more
So, I ain't got room for you
"Flowers" by AsTN is a breakup song where the singer expresses his frustration with his partner's lack of appreciation for all the things he has done for her. The first stanza has AsTN mentioning how he has been picking flowers for his partner all day, yet she fails to appreciate his effort. He is hurt and exhausted by the situation, but his partner still seems indifferent. In the second and third stanzas, AsTN talks about his broken heart and how he cannot afford to go through another heartbreak. He tells his partner that he no longer has the room for her in his life, as she is insensitive to his emotions and efforts. In the final stanza, AsTN repeats the chorus and affirms that he does not have any more time for his partner and that he wants to move on.
The song has a deep emotional tone that laid over a trap beat. AsTN's emotional singing adds weight to the lyrics, making it even more relatable to those who have gone through heartbreak. It is a powerful ballad that talks about the harsh realities of love and how it can be both satisfying and devastating.
