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.
Such A Boy
Astrid S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What are you, an astronaut?
You've got the whole universe
So what you coming 'round here for?
Said you need more air
Are you underwater now?
We're not even in that deep
Acting like you're gonna drown
We were dancing, late into the day
Half asleep and half awake
When the music starts to fade
We were laying, laying in my bed
For one second, you forget
Oh, here we go again
You say you want a break, so we break up
It's a mistake, so we make up
And then we make out, you freak out
Here we go again
You say we go too fast when you're sober
Then have a glass, you're coming over
And then we make out, you freak out
Don't be such a boy
Don't be such a boy
You say you need more me
What, am I a toy again?
You play me like you're all I got
But I ain't hanging by your threads
You say you need love
Mmm, yeah, we all do
And I want to if you let me
But we were dancing, late into the day
Half asleep and half awake
When the music starts to fade
We were laying, laying in my bed
For one second, you forget
Oh, here we go again
You say you wanna break, so we break up
It's a mistake, so we make up
And then we make out, you freak out
Here we go again
Say we go too fast, but you're sober
Then have a glass, you're coming over
And then we make out, you freak out
Don't be such a boy
Don't be such a boy
Breathe in, breathe out
We're chilling, so chill out
You're falling to fall out
Don't be such a boy
Breathe in, breathe out
We're chilling, so chill out
You're falling to fall out
Don't be such a boy
In Astrid S's "Such A Boy," she addresses the frustrations of being with someone who can't seem to make up their mind or commit to a relationship. The opening lines of the chorus reveal this, as the singer points out that their partner is saying they need space, yet they already have the entire universe. The singer also mocks their partner's claims that they need air or that they're drowning, saying that they're not even that deep. It seems that the partner is making excuses to push away from the relationship, yet always comes back to the singer.
The verses describe moments of intimacy between the couple, usually when they're dancing or laying in bed together. However, their connection is always short-lived, as the partner inevitably says they need a break and the cycle begins again. The singer pleads with their partner to stop acting like a child and to make a decision. They tell them not to be "such a boy," implying that their partner is immature and needs to grow up if they want to sustain a real relationship.
Overall, "Such A Boy" deals with the frustration of indecisiveness and the fear of not being enough for someone else. The singer knows they want to be with their partner, but their constant push-and-pull is causing them heartache. It's a relatable theme that speaks to the complexities of love and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Say you need more space
Are you an astronaut or what? You have infinite space and time, so what brings you here asking for more?
You've got the whole universe
Remember, you have an endless universe to explore and discover, nothing can stop you
So what you coming 'round here for?
Why are you looking for something more when you have everything?
Said you need more air
Are you drowning in a deep ocean or something? Breathing isn't an issue here
We're not even in that deep
We're not in any kind of trouble, no need to panic
Acting like you're gonna drown
Why are you pretending like you're going to die when there is nothing to be afraid of?
We were dancing, late into the day
We were happy and carefree, enjoying life without any worries
Half asleep and half awake
We were lost in the moment, somewhere between reality and dreams
When the music starts to fade
As the night draws to a close and the music stops, reality sets in
You say you want a break, so we break up
You want to take a break from us, which means we're breaking up for a while
It's a mistake, so we make up
We realize it was a mistake to take a break, so we reconcile and move on
And then we make out, you freak out
We start making out and suddenly you freak out, what's up?
You say we go too fast when you're sober
When you're not drunk, you think we're moving too fast
Then have a glass, you're coming over
But after a drink or two, you come over and start making out again
Don't be such a boy
Don't be so immature and unpredictable, act like a grown-up
You say you need more me
Do you see me as a toy that you play with whenever you're bored?
What, am I a toy again?
I'm not some object you can play with and discard whenever you want
You play me like you're all I got
You treat me like I'm the only person in your life, but that's not true
But I ain't hanging by your threads
I'm not dependent on you or your attention, I have my own life to live
You say you need love
Everyone needs love, but are you ready to give and receive it?
And I want to if you let me
I'm ready for love if you're willing to give it a chance
Breathe in, breathe out
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly to calm yourself down
We're chilling, so chill out
We're in a relaxed and happy state, so don't let your emotions spoil the mood
You're falling to fall out
Don't let your fear of intimacy and commitment ruin what we have

Say you need more space
Você diz que precisa de mais espaço
What are you, an astronaut?
O que você é, um astronauta?
You've got the whole universe
Você tem todo o universo
So what you coming 'round here for?
Então, o que veio fazer aqui?
Say you need more air
Você diz que precisa de mais ar
Are you underwater now?
Por acaso você está debaixo d'água agora?
We're not even in that deep
Nós nem estamos tão fundo assim
Acting like you're gonna drown
Você age como se fosse se afogar
We were dancing, late into the day
Estávamos dançando, no fim do dia
Half asleep and half awake
Meio adormecidos e meio acordados
When the music starts to fade
Quando a música começa a desaparecer
We were laying, laying in my bed
Estávamos deitados, deitados na minha cama
For one second, you forget
Por um segundo, você esquece
Oh, here we go again
Oh, aqui vamos nós novamente
You say you wanna break, so we break up
Você diz que quer terminar, então nós terminamos
It's a mistake, so we make up
É um erro, então nós voltamos
And then we make out, you freak out
E então nós ficamos, você surta
Here we go again
Aqui vamos nós novamente
You say we go too fast, when you're sober
Você diz que vamos muito rápido, quando você está sóbrio
Then have a glass, you're coming over
Então pego uma bebida, você vem
And then we make out, you freak out
E então nós ficamos, você surta
Don't be such a boy
Não seja tão muleque

You say you need more me
Você diz que precisa mais de mim
What, am I a toy again?
O quê, sou um brinquedo de novo?
You play me like you're all I got
Você brinca comigo como se você fosse tudo o que eu tenho
But I ain't hanging by your threads
Mas eu não sou seu fantoche
You say you need love
Você diz que precisa de amor
Hmm, yeah we all do
Hmm, é, todos nós precisamos
And I want to if you let me
E eu quero se você me deixar
We were dancing, late into the day
