The opening lines of “Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la” are used as a form of transitional phrase that sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is a rhythmic and upbeat tune. Fireboy then mentions his prayer that the universe gives his loved one all that they deserve, even more. The use of the phrase “when the tears fall like shooting stars” conjures up an image of vulnerability and emotions running deep, but Fireboy reassures his loved one to remember who they are and look up to the sky, as if stars are aligning in their favor.
