Astronaut in the Ocean is a song by Australian rapper Masked Wolf. It was originally released in June 2019 before being re-released through Elektra Records on 6 January 2021.[1] Following its re-release, the song achieved chart success, peaking at number 4 on the Australian ARIA Charts and number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Background[]

The song was first released through Teamwrk Records on 7 June 2019, achieving minor success within Australia and becoming Masked Wolf's most popular single at the time.[citation needed] However, in late 2020, the track started to gain attention on social media by being used in a number of TikTok videos. He was signed by Elektra Records in early 2021, and the song was re-released on 6 January 2021. By that time, the song had already reached more than 32 million streams on Spotify and was steadily gaining more traction through social media and clips on TikTok.[2]

In February 2021, it surpassed the 100 million Spotify streams mark, becoming Teamwrk Records' most streamed track. The song was also included in the playlist "The Shazam Predictions 2021", compiled by Shazam and Apple Music.[3] About the lyrics, the rapper said, "'Astronaut In The Ocean' touches on mental depression, how I was stuck in a place of anxiety and feeling low."[4]
