“Astronomy” is the first single off of Conan Gray’s sophomore album, Superache. The song shares similar elements with “The Story,” a song from Conan’s debut album, Kid Krow, explaining a relationship where two parties drift apart from someone you loved because you each realize that other is not the same person they used to be.

In a recent video with Samsung, Conan revealed that “Astronomy” was written about his friend, Ashley. He fears that one day he and Ashley will part ways and will do anything to prevent that from happening.
