Griff has released her latest song, “Astronaut,” marking the culmination of her Vert1go Vol. 1 chapter. This heartfelt ballad features the talents of Coldplay‘s Chris Martin on the piano, a collaboration that emerged after Griff opened for Coldplay during their tour.
In discussing the collaboration, Griff expressed her gratitude for Chris Martin’s involvement, noting that he actively contributed to the creative process. Martin’s advice to simplify the song resonated with Griff, leading her to request his direct participation, to which he graciously agreed.
Lyrically, “Astronaut” delves into the emotional turmoil of feeling abandoned in love, particularly in the context of young relationships. Griff reflects on the pain experienced when a partner seeks time alone to self-discover, leaving the other wondering about their own perceived inadequacies.
