In 2014, Glowie won the Singing Contest of Icelandic Junior Colleges. 11 record labels offered her contracts, but she asked them to wait for one or two years before signing her, so that she could develop as an artist.
On 10 April 2015, she released her debut single, "No More", through StopWaitGo. The song went on to become a hit, topping the charts in Iceland for 3 consecutive weeks. On 29 September 2015, Glowie released "Party". The song spent 10 weeks on the Icelandic singles chart, peaking at number 4.
On 13 February 2016, Glowie released the song "One Day". The song spent 6 weeks on the Icelandic singles chart, peaking at number 4.[9] On 4 June 2016, she released the single "No Lie". The song spent 8 weeks on the Icelandic singles chart, including 2 weeks at number one. A music video for the song was released on 22 June 2016.
In an interview with Official Charts Company in March 2019, Glowie said "We’re just focusing on the first few singles at the moment. An album is still very important to me – it’s just about tying everything together and figuring out what it should sound like. I don’t want it to be a bunch of random songs that have no connection, they need to pull together and tell a story.” In an interview with NME, she revealed that she is hoping to release an album in 2019 or early 2020, saying "I think it’s going to be a mixed pop and R&B record but with a dark twist, darker themes."
No More
Glowie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thoughts get lost in traffic sounds.
Listening to sad and lonely music
of raindrops falling to the ground
Thinkin' how come the sun don't shine,
like it used to, like it used to.
Why dont it shine no more?
No one to hold my hand,
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
No more, no more, no more, no more,
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
Sitting here for days on end and waiting,
for you to come knocking at my door.
And why
can't we go back to what we used to have before?
How come the sun don't shine
like it used to, like it used to.
Why don't it shine no more?
No one to hold my hand,
like you used to, like you used to
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
No more, no more, no more, no more,
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
I miss your love, I miss your face, I miss your smile,
I miss your faults, I miss your place, I miss your style,
I miss your lips, I miss your hips, cuz' that thing's wild
and I miss the way your phonenumber
ain't come on mine in a while.
I'm not saying it to be crazy,
It's so Beyonce and Jay-Z,
Cuz' god damnit,
We could make a couple of dope babies,
If we wanted to,
Just one or two,
and then we could stop, wait, go.
This shit's so regular and I'm out the door
Cuz I wish we could go back in time,
rewind this shit,
I wish we could go back,
Marty McFly this ship,
to another land,
where I'll be a better man,
and I'll give you everything,
before now I'm wondering,
How come the sun don't shine
like it used to, like it used to.
Why dont it shine no more?
No one to hold my hand
like you used to, like you used to.
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
How come the sun don't shine
like it used to, like it used to.
Why dont it shine no more?
No one to hold my hand
Like you used to, like you used to
Can't get used to you not loving me no more
No more, no more, no more, no more,
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
How come the sun don't shine
like it used to, like it used to.
Why dont it shine no more?
No one to hold my hand
Like you used to, like you used to
Can't get used to you not loving me no more
No more, no more, no more, no more,
Can't get used to you not loving me no more.
No more, no more, no more, no more,
can't get used to you not loving me no more
In Glowie's song "No More," she describes the pain of a lost relationship and the desire to go back to the way things were before. The lyrics are emotional, reflecting her inner thoughts and feelings of loneliness and longing. She describes staring out the window, feeling empty and listening to sad music that makes her think about the past. She wonders why the sun doesn't shine as brightly as it used to, and why she can't be held like she used to be. She can't get used to not being loved anymore and feels that emptiness deeply.
Glowie then goes on to reminisce about the good times and what she misses about the relationship. She talks about missing everything from his smile to his flaws and even his place. She sings about how she wishes they could go back in time, fix things and start anew. She longs to be his girl again and feels like a better man if given another chance. Glowie can't help but wonder why the sun doesn't shine as brightly anymore as it did when they were together, and why she can't be held the way she used to be. She concludes that she can't adjust to him not loving her anymore.

I would blame record companies and the music industry to forcing us to listening to songs we don't like.
Glowie should be ten times more popular than Harry Styles.
How can anyone listen to his shit music?😞🥺
