Boy In Space is back, and the return feels earned. Swedish singer-songwriter Robin Lundbäck has released “Who’s Crying When I’m Leaving?”, a emotionally layered new single that opens on delicate acoustic guitar before blooming into something fuller, driven by drums, violin, and the subtle warmth of a tambourine. It’s pop-country-tinged and deeply personal, landing squarely in the space Boy In Space has always owned.
The track reflects on the loneliness that comes with constant movement, the quiet cost of always being somewhere new, and the longing for stillness. Lundbäck writes from lived experience, and it shows.
“Since I was young, I’ve always moved and travelled a lot,” he shares. “I’ve had to learn how to let go and detach, not because things got ugly, just because distance slowly does its thing. Now in later years I’ve come to realize how important it is to dig my feet into the dirt next to the people I love.”
“Who’s Crying When I’m Leaving?” follows his 2025 EP ‘The Butterfly Affect’, where Lundbäck leaned into a warmer, more organic sound, a direction he’s pushed even further here. With over half a billion streams behind him and breakout tracks like “Cold” and “7UP” already in the canon, the arrival of his debut album feels like a genuine moment. Recorded with a live band and built around raw self-reflection, the record is coming later this year.
Boy In Space is one of the most compelling singer-songwriters working in this space right now, and “Who’s Crying When I’m Leaving?” is out now.
