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.

Astrid S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would it even make a sound?
Cause I can't even make one now
And I get these thoughts in my head
But I wouldn't do it anyway
Or at least that's what I say
'Till I'm right at the edge
I tak a look at the bottom
but I don't think that I'd mind the falling
Would anyone know? Is there anyone watching?
I'm getting crazy ideas in my head,
and I don't think I'm able to stop them
JUMP
When the water rushes in
Feel it filling up my lungs
I'm in the calm before the storm
And I dive, feel the wind in my hair
Nobody can talk me down
I'm really gonna do it know
I'm standing right on the edge
Looking down at the bottom
And I know it will hurt hitting ground,
but I don't think that I'd mind the falling
Would anyone know? Is there anyone watching?
I'm getting crazy ideas in my head,
and I'm not even trying to stop them
JUMP
I'm standing right on the edge
Looking down at the bottom
And I know it will hurt hitting ground,
but I don't think that I'd mind the falling
Would anyone know? Is there anyone watching?
I'm getting crazy ideas in my head,
and I'm not even trying to stop them

The lyrics to Astrid S's song Jump describe the powerful pull of intense emotions and the temptation to take drastic actions, even when we know they might lead to our downfall. The song begins by questioning whether it would even matter if the singer were to fall, illustrating the feelings of loneliness and isolation that often come with overwhelming thoughts. Despite her assertion that she wouldn't actually act on these thoughts, the singer is drawn to the edge and imagines how it would feel to jump. She knows the consequences would be painful, but admits that she might not mind the falling itself.
The chorus repeats the word "jump" as a mantra, emphasizing the primal urge to take action and confront the fear of the unknown. The second verse describes the sensation of being submerged in water, symbolizing the suffocating feeling of being in the grip of anxiety or depression. Despite this, the line "I'm in the calm before the storm" suggests that there is a perverse sense of peace to be found in the chaos that might result from jumping. The repetition of the phrase "I'm not even trying to stop them" at the end of both verses underscores the feeling of helplessness and loss of control that accompanies these thoughts.
Overall, the lyrics of Jump are a powerful expression of the intense emotions that can lead us to contemplate actions that might harm us. The song provides a cathartic outlet for these feelings while acknowledging their potentially destructive nature.
