Emerging singer ASTN has released his new single “How Soon” via Warner Records.
He co-produced the breakup tune with Lido, BOOQ, Tyler James and xynothing. Grammy-nominated songwriter Varren Wade (Ella Mai, Givēon) also contributed to the track.
On “How Soon,” ASTN ponders about the right timing of moving forward from a past relationship.
“I didn’t mean to move on / But how soon is too soon to get with someone? / How can you say that I’m wrong? / When I never knew I was breaking a rule / I’ve been waitin’ for you for so long / And they took me places that we hadn’t gone so,” he sings over guitar-laden instrumentation.
Commenting on “How Soon,” ASTN shares: “I’ve always been perceptive of others’ feelings and would consider myself an empath. That made it really hard for me to make any sort of selfish decision, even if it was the right decision.”
He adds, “Moving on from someone isn’t as easy as some people make it seem, and that’s what ‘How Soon’ represents for me. There’s no guideline to follow. There’s no set of rules. I just finally did what was right for me.”
ASTN accompanies “How Soon” with a video directed by Hunter Lyon, which can be viewed below.
“How Soon” will appear on ASTN’s forthcoming project, due later this spring.
In March 2022, ASTN released his major-label debut EP, You’re Almost There. He returned later that November with a new track, “Be So Cruel.”
