Star (Loona song)
2020 single by Loona
"Star" is a song released by the South Korean girl group Loona. It was sent to US radios on December 21, 2020, as the second single from their third mini-album [12:00]. The song was released as a response to the support the group received globally. It is the first English single released by the whole group (sub-unit Loona Odd Eye Circle previously released an English version of their song, "Loonatic") and is the English version of the song "Voice", from the same album.
Release
Loona unveiled the official music video on November 18 to mark the start of promotions for the song which according to Forbes seemed to indicate larger intentions in the US market. According to Forbes the synth-pop production on the song was similar to those utilized by chart-toppers like The Weeknd and Dua Lipa, and the song also sonically aligns itself well alongside some of groups's most beloved tracks like their 2019 single "Butterfly". On December 21 of the same year the song was also sent to contemporary hit radios across the US.
Composition and lyrics
"Star" is a synth-pop song composed in F♯ minor and has a tempo of 158 beats per minute. The song is charged with "cosmic energy" until the very last chorus explodes with perfectly blended vocal colors and dazzling choreographic synchronization. The lyrics captures the precarious and once-in-a-lifetime nature of the group's global fame and their understanding of how much they owe their unprecedented nugu stardom to the rapidly growing community of their fans that gravitates toward them. The song has also been described as retro, having a low addictive repeated beat that captures the uncontainable excitement of being in love.
