Growing up in a small town (Berkรฅk, Norway), Astrid got into music at an early age and at six she started to play the piano. Not long after she was also playing several instruments, in addition to sing and write songs. At the age of 16 she participated in the Norwegian version of Pop Idol in 2013. During her time in the competition, she released her single "Shattered" as Astrid Smeplass. The single was written by her, Lars K. Hushoft and Melanie Fontana. "Shattered" has been streamed over 5 million times and sold to gold in just one week. It is therefore the most popular single from the last five finalists. Astrid got signed to Playroom Artist after placing as number five in Pop Idol. She released her first single 2AM under her new artist image at the age of 18 on Universal Music. "2AM" was released in the USA in 2015. She also released a cover-version of the single FourFiveSeconds which has been doing well on radio in Norway in 2015.
In 2015 she featured the Canadian artist Shawn Mendes on the song Air on his album Handwritten that placed at number 1 in the Billboard 200 chart in April 2015.
Astrid released her track โHydeโ produced by the raging popular Lido (The Weeknd, Alt-J, Bastille, Banks) and co-produced by the Swedish duo Cal Maui & Blisse. The track was premiered on Fader Magazine and represents the first new music from Astrid S since her debut hit single โ2AMโ and her appearance on Aviciiโs July 2015 โWaiting For Loveโ remix EP.
Astrid won her first MTV EMA award as Best Norwegian Act, got two out of four awards at P3 Gull and was nominated for Best Song (โ2AMโ) at the Norwegian Grammy Awards.
During the winter, she has been working on finalizing her highly anticipated debut EP, which is due out this spring (May 20). Meanwhile, the latest single, Matoma x Astrid S - โRunning Out,โ has been picking up traction across the world and has passed 50 million streams on Spotify alone.
Astrid S is signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing as one of their youngest songwriters.

Astrid S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the same song stuck on repeat
Hoodie pulled up over her eyes
'Cause she's not in the mood to speak
She got dumped, thought he was the one
Didn't mean to fall so deep
She walks home with the Airpods on
With the same song stuck on repeat
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm

She's out with the same old crowd
Too young getting into the club
No money, with the fake ID
Pretending that she's someone
She wastes time when she stands in line
'Cause she knows she'll never get in
She's out with the same old crowd
Puts her Airpods in and
Sing

The lyrics for Astrid S's "Airpods" paint a picture of a girl who is going through a challenging time in her life. The singer talks about how music has become her escape from reality, and how it helps her numb the pain she's feeling. The girl in the song is dealing with heartbreak, feeling lost and unsure of herself, and trying to find comfort in life's little pleasures. She walks home every day with her Airpods in, listening to the same song on repeat, singing along to distract herself from the pain she's feeling.
The repetition of the "Mhm, mhm, mhm" and "Tam, di, di, tam, tam" throughout the song builds a hypnotic atmosphere that reflects the girl's repetitive behavior and the loop of negative thoughts inside her head. The line "It feels like Novocain when the music starts to play" further emphasizes the effect music has on her as a pain-numbing mechanism.
Overall, "Airpods" is a song about using music as an escape and coping mechanism during difficult times. It speaks to the powerful impact that music can have on our emotions and wellbeing, serving as a reminder that it's okay to take a break and catch our breath when things get too overwhelming.
