The song was first previewed on his Snapchat on April 13, 2018, and has since been performed multiple times live.
Travis released ASTROWORLD’s trailer four days before the album’s release, which featured the song playing over cinematic scenes of Travis Scott navigating a post-apocalyptic landscape with outer space elements.
The song title could be a reference to Houston’s iconic ties to astrological exploration, with NASA’s Mission Control Center being located in Travis’s hometown.
This track as well as “SICKO MODE,” can both be found in the NBA 2K19 Soundtrack.
Travis first previewed “STARGAZING,” on his Snapchat on April 13, 2018. He later teased the song live-in-concert at the Rolling Loud Festival in May, before performing it again at the Governors Ball at the beginning of June. He also used it in the announcement trailer for ASTROWORLD.
“Stargazing” can have multiple meanings: he could mean literal ‘stargazing’, which could be a spectacular sight while under the influence of psychedelics like LSD or MDMA, or Travis could be implying he’s undergoing an insightful trip and experience. Furthermore, “stargazing” can be defined as being absentminded – how Travis feels when the drugs cause him to get lost in a trip and slip into a deep, dissociated trance.
“STARGAZING,” was been certified platinum by the RIAA on December 14, 2018. “STARGAZING,” debuted at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of August 18, 2018.

Travi$ Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sippin' on purp, feelin' like the Barre Baby (it's lit)
Whatever I downed, it got me goin' crazy (yeah)
Psychedelics got me goin' crazy (alright)
I was hot as hell out in the heat (yeah, yeah)
Then the storm came in to save my life
Head up to the sky, down on my knees (straight up)
In the nighttime (woo, yeah)
Rollin', rollin', rollin', got me stargazin' (rollin')
Psychedelics got me goin' crazy (oh, no)
Niggas femalin', they excelling (yeah)
Are they intelli'? (what you tellin'?)
We propellin', up top with Ellen, uh (with the choppers)
Kill the jealous with propane repellent
Got me goin' crazy (it's lit)
On tour, we'll tell 'em, we brought the section (gang)
They keep on callin' up, it's gettin' hectic like we projected
So we cut the plug, he's interjected (got me goin' crazy)
Rollin', rollin', rollin', got me stargazin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sippin' on purp, feelin' like the Barre Baby (it's lit)
Whenever I'm down, it got me goin' crazy (yeah)
Psychedelics got me goin' crazy
I was hot as hell out in the heat (yeah, yeah)
Then the storm came in to save my life
Head up to the sky, down on my knees (straight up)
Out of nowhere, you came here to save the night
In the nighttime (woo, yeah)
Got me goin' crazy
Okay, I been up for some days, I ain't got time to lay
Just to drown out all these thoughts, I tried all kind of things
If I take you to my past you will be traumatized
Got a thousand kids outside that's tryna come alive
'99, took AstroWorld, it had to relocate
Told the dogs I'd bring it back, it was a seal of faith
Before no car note, baby girl, she played the tourist guide
Got the keys into my city, now she know the rides
Got new money, got new problems, got new enemies
When you make it to the top, it's the amenities
Packin' out Toyota like I'm in the league
And it ain't a mosh pit if ain't no injuries
I got 'em stage divin' out the nose bleeds (alright, alright, alright)
And she hit that booger sugar 'til her nose bleed (alright, alright, alright)
Bounce that shit forever, she on both knees
She was talkin' 'bout forever, got a whole week (alright, alright, alright)
Plus she know my baby mama is a trophy
She be throwing up them B's feel like we both bleed
She keep my dick jumpin' up, feel like I'm Moby
I'm way too gold for this beef, feel like I'm Kobe
Yeah, this right here is astronomical
I see you picked up all my ways, I feel responsible
They tryna say that all my problems is improbable
They keep itching at my spirit, I'm diabolical
You feel me?
The lyrics to Travis Scott's song "Stargazing" find the rapper in a drug induced haze, with his mind wandering as he indulges in various substances. The opening lines of the song find Scott repeating the phrase, "rollin', rollin', rollin', got me stargazin'," which may be a reference to the state of being high, and how it can cause one's thoughts to drift off into the heavens. The chorus is also notable for its references to psychedelics, with Scott singing "Psychedelics got me goin' crazy." The song overall seems to be a meditation on the rapper's high-flying lifestyle, and how it can cause both moments of bliss and moments of chaos.
The lyrics are also notable for how they reference Scott's past experiences, both personal and professional. He sings about his long relationship with his baby mama, referring to her as a "trophy," and discusses how he used to oversee the now-defunct AstroWorld amusement park. The song also touches on the themes of fame and success, with Scott referencing how he feels responsible for the actions of his followers. Overall, "Stargazing" is a complex and introspective song that finds the rapper at his most vulnerable, both lyrically and thematically.

@@pickleman4089 No, it's his fault for getting off on seeing his fans mosh and not making an actual effort to keep things from getting out of control. He likes that. He supported that.
There's clips of fans trying to climb on stage and get the staffs attention, screaming people were dead. Travis refused to stop.
I could understand defending him if he had made a concerted effort to halt the show, but he didn't.
Of course his staff failed him, but at the end of the day it's his show. At some point he has to take some responsibility for his actions and demand better from the people around him.
But something tells me he juts gets told what to do, he has no spine and is a sellout, ego-flexing fool.
