At only 17-years-old, Sasha has been tearing up the scene for some time now and has already got a performance at 2009’s Wireless Festival and a full UK tour with chart-toppers N-Dubz and BRIT award-winning Tinie Tempah under her super stylish belt.
Based in the south east of England’s capital city and managed by Disturbing London, her raw talent as both a songwriter and an artist is making it impossible for her to go unnoticed.
There’s a quiet ferocity in her voice that commands attention and flirts with the ethereal ambience of her sound, and her natural ability to move seamlessly through genres makes Sasha edgy and undeniably fresh. Her lyrical prowess also pushes her to stand out as she draws on her own experiences to embody the reality of emotion.
Her influences, like her music, are eclectic. Having grown up on a diet of heavy metal, music was in her blood from a young age and it wasn’t long before her passion drove her to pursue and discover other sounds. She describes her style as a delicious fusion of ‘trip hop, soul and pop’, citing Little Dragon as one of her most indulgent musical fixations, and as a current BRIT School student admits that alumna Adele has been a great source of inspiration along with other prominent female figures in music.
She is currently in the studio working on her debut EP and the name she’s been carving into the body of the industry is becoming more visible by the day. Sasha Keable has ignited the spark and her flame is growing.
Just Friends
Sasha Keable Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But let me know if I'm out of order
For stepping to you this way
See I've been watching you for a while
And I just gotta let you know
That I'm really feeling your style
Cause I had to know your name
And I hope that you would call me someday
If you want you can give me yours too
But if you don't well I ain't mad at you
We can still be cool
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill
Damn, I'm surprised that you called
Cause the way you walked away
I thought I wasn't gon see you no more
Since you didn't wanna give me your name
I thought that you were iggin' me
And wasn't diggin' me
But anyway what you doing tonight
I'll probably be with my peeps
If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by
And you can just chill with us
Or you can just chill with me
As long as you're comfortable
And you feel secure when you're with me
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill
Go and see a movie girl
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do
Just let me know
It's up to you
Say, go and see a movie girl
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do
Just let me know
It's up to you
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill
Sasha Keable's song "Just Friends" is a smooth R&B track that explores the concept of a guy trying to get to know a girl he finds attractive. The song starts with the guy saying that this approach might seem strange, but he's been watching her for a while, admiring her style, and he just has to let her know. The lyrics reflect the vulnerability and the hesitation that comes with approaching someone you're attracted to, but at the same time, it enunciates the boldness required to take the first step. The guy gives her his number and leaves the decision to call him up to her. He's not expecting anything, and he just wants to get to know her better and hang out, adding that he's not trying to pressure her into anything beyond that.
The second verse starts with him being surprised that she actually called him, as she didn't seem interested and walked away without divulging her name at first. But now that she has called, he makes plans to hang out with her, either with his peeps or just the two of them. He emphasizes that it's her choice, and he wants her to feel comfortable and secure when she's with him. The song ends with a soothing beat and the repetition of the hook, adding a sense of comfort and ease to the whole approach of just being friends.
Interpretation of the song can differ from people to people, but overall, the lyrics convey the idea of shooting your shot, being patient, and not expecting anything. It talks about understanding the value of being just friends and being comfortable with it.

Girl I know this might seem strange
I understand this approach is weird but hear me out
But let me know if I'm out of order
Please indicate if this behavior is unwelcome
For stepping to you this way
For approaching you so directly
See I've been watching you for a while
I have been observing you secretly
And I just gotta let you know
I cannot hold back my feelings any longer
That I'm really feeling your style
I am attracted to your personality
Cause I had to know your name
I needed to know your identity
And leave you with my number
So that we can keep in touch
And I hope that you would call me someday
I anticipate your future contact
If you want you can give me yours too
If you wish, you can provide me with your contact details as well
But if you don't well I ain't mad at you
It's okay if you don't want to share your information
We can still be cool
We can still maintain a friendly relationship
I'm not trying to pressure you
I am not trying to force you into anything
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
I cannot get you out of my head
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
You don't have to be in a romantic relationship with me
I just wanna know your name
I just want to be acquainted with you
And maybe some time
Perhaps at some point in the future
We can hook up, hang out, just chill
We can spend time together without any expectations
Damn, I'm surprised that you called
I didn't expect you to reach out
Cause the way you walked away
When you left earlier
I thought I wasn't gon see you no more
I feared that we might not meet again
Since you didn't wanna give me your name
As you didn't want to share your details with me
I thought that you were iggin' me
I assumed you were ignoring me
And wasn't diggin' me
And didn't like me
But anyway what you doing tonight
Regardless, what are you up to tonight?
I'll probably be with my peeps
I will be with my friends
If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by
If you're okay with it, we can come meet you
And you can just chill with us
You are welcome to hang out with us
Or you can just chill with me
Alternatively, you can just spend time with me alone
As long as you're comfortable
As long as you are happy and at ease
And you feel secure when you're with me
And feel safe in my presence
Go and see a movie girl
Why don't we catch a movie?
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Perhaps we can spend time together
Whatever you wanna do
It is up to you to decide what we do
Just let me know
Please inform me of your choice
It's up to you
The decision is solely yours to make
