Anna was raised in a house where Rock and Roll reigned supreme, but she listens to hardcore rock and punk, as well as “jam bands” such as Moe and Particle. It was through this exposure to various genres of music that her fascinating hybrid style of songwriting was born.
Anna recorded her first untitled EP reprisal, which she wrote, produced, and played in 2005. She spent the rest of 2007 rocking the NYC circuit and other venues on the northeast coast before her popularity transcended into the Midwest. With the release of 2008's full length album Moonlighter, she supported the album with a Midwest tour that ended with a memorable performance in front of thousands of fans in Walker, Minnesota at Moondance Jam, where Anna Yvette joined music legends such as, Crosby Stills and Nash, Sebastian Bach, Poison, Sweet, Great White, Boz Scaggs, and many others. In June of 2009, she released the EP Ships of Theseus, and came in second place with her song "Hey Tommy" in the Windows Sponsored Song campaign, beating out thousands of other SIGNED artists. Anna Yvette supported her new release with a Midwest tour, and once again played at Moondance Jam, only this time she opened up for the infamous Sheryl Crow and shared the stage with country legend Jodi Messina.
Anna has been featured on the "Out of the Box" radio show on Q104.3 in New York City and has taken the college radio waves by storm. Her music has been played on over 300 stations across the United States and Canada and received acclaim from New York’s #1 music station and nationally syndicated morning show “The Z Morning Zoo” on Z100, for the song "Give It Up Girl." Anna also actively participates in many charities, and often combines her music with raising awareness for them. She has played for over 3,000 people at the Human Rights Rally for China at Union Square in NYC, and is also involved with Global Outreach, GO Brazil, One, and The Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Shooting Star
Anna Yvette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lighting up the dark
Can you hardly take it?
Everyone wishing on stars
Can you feel me shakin'? (shakin')
Makin' our dreams come true
All the hearts you're breakin' (breakin')
Cause there's nobody else like you
We run across the sky (the sky)
Faster than the speed of light
We've got magic on our side (our side)
Cause you know what you are
You're my shooting star
Shooting star
You are, you are
Shooting star
You are, you are
Are you goin' crazy?
All eyes on you
The vibes you be creatin'
Electric neon blue
Stardusted hazy (hazy)
Dancin' on the moon
There's no escapin' (hazy)
A galaxy in bloom
We run across the sky (the sky)
Faster than the speed of light
We got magic on our side (our side)
Cause you know what you are
You're my shooting star
Shooting star
You are, you are
Shooting star
You are You are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You you you you know what you are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You know what you are
We run across the sky
Faster than the speed of light
We got magic on our side
Cause you know what you are
You're my shooting star
Shooting star
You are You are
Shooting star
You are, you are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You you you you know what you are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You know what you are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You you you you know what you are
Shooting star
You know what you are
You know what you are
In Anna Yvette's song "Shooting Star", she is referring to a person who stands out and shines brightly, making their mark on the world. She asks if this person is burning -- if they are creating a light in the darkness that is impossible to ignore. Despite the attention they receive, Anna Yvette asks if they can handle it, if all the people wishing on stars for success and fulfillment are weighing on them. The chorus, which repeats several times throughout the song, tells this person that they are a shooting star -- they are running across the sky faster than the speed of light, they have magic on their side, and they are making dreams come true.
The verses provide more detail about this person's impact on the world. They are going crazy with all eyes on them, but they are creating an electric vibe that is impossible to ignore. They are like a galaxy in bloom, and they dance on the moon. The second chorus repeats the main message -- this person is a shooting star, and they know what they are. They are powerful, magical, and unstoppable.
Overall, "Shooting Star" is an empowering anthem that celebrates people who stand out from the crowd and make their mark on the world. It recognizes the challenges that come with success and attention, but ultimately celebrates the power and impact of those who shine brightly.

Just another FH4 player stopping by to show some love, when this started playing on the radio I was positively blown away. This song invokes so many joyful emotions, it's full of beautiful melodies from start to finish. Definitely one of the catchiest tunes I've heard in my life.
