Superstar was inspired by India’s history as a devoted one directioner. They wanted to write a song about admiring someone you’ll never reach but always sticking by their side.
[Verse 1]
You’re a superstar
Loves a girl who plays bass
That’s cool but I wish I was in her place
Go ahead and give me nothing
You’re a superstar
I might drown in the way that I feel
But I guess I’m just a fan
[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes I forget you’re real
And I know I'm too fucking sincere
But I gave my all
I gave my all
[Chorus]
I want to be alone
But if I didn’t I’d wanna be with you
I want to be alone
But if I didn’t I’d wanna be with you
[Verse 2]
You’re a superstar
Dream about you when I’m biking down the 5
A couple hours past midnight
And I hate that u don’t know me
[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes I forget you’re real
And I know I'm too fucking sincere
But I gave my all
I gave my all
[Chorus]
I want to be alone
But if I didn’t I’d wanna be with you
I want to be alone
But if I didn’t I’d wanna be with you
[Verse 3]
And I miss you on the weekend
I’d pick you over my friends
Getting dizzy in my head set
I swear I’ll say the wrong thing
[Outro]
And I miss you on the weekends
I’d pick you over my best friend
Getting dizzy in my head set
Swear I’ll say the wrong thing
