Growing up in a small town (Berkåk, 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 “Hyde” 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 “2AM” and her appearance on Avicii’s July 2015 “Waiting For Love” 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 (“2AM”) 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 - “Running Out,” 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.
Favorite Part Of Me
Astrid S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having a day that's in between
Feel like I hold back and I don't know why
Can't seem to say just what I mean
So many people, all of the ones surrounding me
And if you'd ask them, they would describe me differently
So many reasons, so many different sides of me
'Cause some people make me bitter
Smile and then squeeze a lime in my cut
And some people make me sweeter
'Cause they make me feel like I am enough
And that makes me a giver
But my mom says I tend to give too much
And some people make me better
And that's how I know my favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
Having a moment, weight on my shoulders
I can't describe just how I feel
Don't have to say it, look at my face and
You know exactly what I mean
So many people, all of the ones surrounding me
And if you'd ask them, they would describe me differently
So many reasons, so many different sides of me
And I can't decide who I want to be
'Cause some people make me bitter
Smile and then squeeze a lime in my cut
And some people make me sweeter
'Cause they make me feel like I am enough
And that makes me a giver
But my mom says I tend to give too much
And some people make me better
And that's how I know my favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
Some people make me nervous
'Cause they make me feel like nothing at all
But some people think I'm perfect
'Cause they wouldn't want me to change at all
And that's what I deserve
And I'm reminded of how lucky I am
'Cause most people make me better
And that's how I know
My favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
My favorite part of me is you
The lyrics of "Favorite Part of Me" by Astrid S describe the struggle of identity and the influence of different people on our lives. The song starts with the conflicting emotions that we face in our daily lives, whether having good days, bad days, or something in between. The singer feels like they hold back and can't express themselves fully. The chorus goes on to describe how people around us impact our lives and how we perceive ourselves. Some people make us feel bitter, while others make us feel sweeter. Some people take away our confidence, while others build us up. The singer cannot decide who they want to be because there are so many different sides of them.
The second verse further emphasizes the influence of other people. The singer is struggling under the weight of a moment, and their face says it all. They cannot describe what they're feeling, but they don't have to because the person they're talking to understands exactly what they're going through. The bridge takes it a step further, describing how some people make the singer feel like nothing at all, while others believe they're perfect. But ultimately, the singer knows that most people make them better, and the "favorite part" of them is the person they're talking to.
Overall, "Favorite Part of Me" is a deeply introspective song that explores the role other people play in our lives and how we perceive ourselves. It also celebrates the positive influence of a specific person who makes the singer feel better about themselves.

Love Nala
This song made me realize how disrespectful and rude I am to myself. I take this as anthem for myself because I feel like the 'me' that I hate needs some loving too.
So Nala, i hope you realise you are pretty solid. Even if you make some mistakes, you don't deserve my hate. Even if that one friend, whom you tried to hold onto doesn't come back due to their issues and the argument you had, I don't hate you. It's not your fault that you met that person, became besties, tried to understand eachother, had some cheerful times, even though you were polar opposites of eachother. You and them, both, don't deserve any hate from me. You can be impulsive and impatient sometimes but I know that you still think hard to never cause trouble and just need some love. I hope I can grow to love you more, so that you don't consider other's love for you as your lifeline. I hope my love for you can help you spread your wings and achieve your goals.
I am sorry for being so hard you.
You are pretty dope, Nala.
You are not perfect but you don't have to be. Just be you.
I hope i can come back to this comment and just give myself some confidence, If i ever try to hate myself again.

Tendo um dia ruim
Tendo um bom dia
Tendo um dia entre um e outro
Sinto como se eu me contivesse
E eu não sei porquê
Não consigo dizer exatamente o que quero dizer
Muitas pessoas, todas as que me cercam
E se você as perguntassem, elas me descreveriam de maneira diferente
Tantas razões, tantas versões de mim
E eu não posso decidir quem eu quero ser
Porque algumas pessoas me deixam amarga
Sorriem e depois espremem um limão no meu corte
E algumas pessoas me deixam mais doce
Porque eles me fazem sentir como se eu fosse o suficiente
E isso me deixa
Mas minha mãe diz que sou generosa demais
E algumas pessoas me fazem melhor
E é assim que eu sei que minha parte favorita de mim é você
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
Tendo um momento
Peso nos ombros
Não posso descrever como me sinto
Não preciso dizer
Olhe para o meu rosto e você saberá exatamente o que quero dizer
Muitas pessoas, todas as que me cercam
E se você as perguntassem, elas me descreveriam de maneira diferente
Tantas razões, tantas versões de mim
E eu não posso decidir quem eu quero ser
Porque algumas pessoas me deixam amarga
Sorriem e espremem um limão no meu corte
E algumas pessoas me deixam mais doce
Porque eles me fazem sentir como se eu fosse o suficiente
E isso me faz generosa
Mas minha mãe diz que sou generosa demais
E algumas pessoas me fazem melhor
E é assim que eu sei que minha parte favorita de mim é você
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
Algumas pessoas me deixam nervosa
Porque eles me fazem sentir absolutamente nada
Algumas pessoas pensam que eu sou perfeita
Porque eles não querem que eu mude
E é isso que eu mereço
E eu me lembro da sorte que tenho
Porque a maioria das pessoas me faz melhor
E é assim que eu sei
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
Minha parte favorita de mim é você
