Star
Webbe Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of the boys and the girls at the party
And I'm the only one alone
So I crossed the dance floor
Heading for the back door
Ready to make my way home
But wait a minute what's this I see
J-lo glow and legs to spare
Something you got put it on me
Guess I ain't going anywhere

chorus:
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..

well we could talk a little
Laugh a while and maybe
Talk a little more
But let's sidestep the usual bullshit
Make our way onto the floor
Baby there's something bright about you
Youe eyes, your smile, your style of dress
You make me feel like I'm a sinner
And now I'm ready to confess

chorus

and oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
I can make you feel so good, so good..

and oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
And I really wish you would, you would

so everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now
With the flow now

(repeat x3)

so everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now

chorus





uh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Star" by Simon Webbe tells a story about a man who finds himself alone at a party, ready to leave when he sees Jennifer Lopez catching his attention with her glow and striking legs. He is captivated by her and feels something bright about her, prompting him to confess his sinful attraction to her. He expresses a desire to be closer to her and explore their chemistry on the dance floor. Throughout the song, Webbe invokes a sense of attraction, longing, and lust towards this woman he is drawn to.


The lyrics suggest a sense of being lost, but then finding that spark amidst the crowd. The chorus specifically points out that Webbe is not sure what it is that got his attention, but he is enticed by the "star" quality of this woman. The song can be seen as a take on the classic romantic comedy film trope, where an unlikely couple comes together through circumstance and eventually falls in love.


The song ultimately showcases the common themes of love and attraction, with the addition of the desire for something unexplainable or different. The overall tone of the song is upbeat and positive, conveying the message of taking a chance to find that special person in your life.
