“Stars” marks PinkPantheress second song sampling Just Jack’s 2007 debut single, “Starz in Their Eyes,” alongside her 2021 song “Attracted To You.” In this context, rather than sampling the melody of “Starz in Their Eyes,” “Stars” shares multiple similarities on the lyrics.
In an interview with The...
[Refrain: Just Jack]
Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
So why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (So why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
Now, why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Now, why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
[Verse 1: PinkPantheress]
You need somebody, baby, just call me
Tell me what always keeps you up at night (Come and talk to me, yeah)
When you said you're dealing with another boy
Tell me how it's going for ya
[Pre-Chorus: PinkPantheress]
See that girl that's standing over there? (See that girl that's standing over there?)
She's watching there everywhere (She's watching there everywhere)
Now she's watching you head to toe (Head to toe)
When you leave, that's where she'll go
Come and talk to me
[Chorus: PinkPantheress]
Things are getting darker in the city
Please find your way out of the city
Describe your love out of the city
It's getting darker in the city
[Refrain: PinkPantheress & Just Jack]
Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
(It's you and me)
So why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (So why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
Woah, woah
Now, why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes? (Now, why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?)
[Verse 2: PinkPantheress]
You're having bad, bad thoughts, items hidden in your drawer
And you don't know how long you'll keep on fighting this for
Check the mattress on the bed, it's your name that's being said
Or maybe you'll just name the other person instead
[Interlude: PinkPantheress]
Hello?
Hey
Yeah, I'm gon' be there in ten minutes, make sure you got the stuff
I don't have any of your stuff
Don't test me, you know I can't talk about this on the cellphone
Oh my God
Got it?
Whatever
If it turns out you the cops, we're done doing business
Later
[Chorus: PinkPantheress]
Things are getting darker in the city (City)
Please find your way out of the city (Ah-oh)
Describe your love out of the city
It's getting darker in the city (La-la, la-la-la)
[Bridge: PinkPantheress & Just Jack]
Why'd you wanna go and put stars in their eyes?
It's the same old story, but they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to go from a private bedroom dance routine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams
[Outro: PinkPantheress]
You need somebody, baby, just call me
Tell me what always keeps you up at night (Yeah)
When you said you're dealing with another boy
The police are coming for ya

I just love that song so much. That’s actually maybe theother underrated British banger which I feel like exists with ‘Biology’ by Girls Aloud. I think that song is just so good and, why else, did I? I don’t know actually, I think I was just listening to the beat and I could hear him doing it and I...
“Stars” debuted at #22 on the New Zealand’s Hot 40 Singles Chart, marking PinkPantheress' fifteenth highest-peaking entry on the chart and her nineteenth entry overall.
The meaning of “Stars” by PinkPantheress is about uneasiness over the phone, where a dialogue about a drug deal can be heard, giving a sense of secrecy and mistrust. Pink talks about a difficult relationship and the complexities of secret dealings.
