Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going on in my head (on in my head)
The memories seem to fade away
With the thoughts in my head (the thoughts in my head)
Run from different enemies
And the thoughts in my head (the thoughts in my head)
Run from different enemies
And the thoughts in my head (the thoughts, in my)
And where did you go as I slipped? (as I slipped)
I can't seem to get out my head (out my head)
I went and I'll count the tears I shed (tears I shed, tears I)
She sat there and watched as I bled
As I bled
As I bled
As I bled
As I bled
As I bled
And where did you go as I slipped (as I slipped)
I can't seem to get out my head (out my head)
And where did you go as I slipped (as I slipped)
I can't seem to get out my head (out my head)

The repetition of 'the thoughts in my head' reinforces the idea that the artist is trapped within his own mind.
The second verse of the song is particularly poignant, with the artist asking 'where did you go as I slipped?'. This line could be directed towards a person or a concept, with the artist feeling like they have been abandoned just as they start to feel vulnerable. They struggle to 'get out of their head', suggesting that they feel trapped in their own negative thoughts, so much so that they start bleeding emotionally. The repeated line of 'as I bled' highlights the artist's emotional pain and suggests that they feel trapped and exposed.
Overall, the lyrics to "Looking for a Star" illustrate the inner turmoil and struggle that can come with being an artist. The song portrays a sense of abandonment, loneliness and emotional pain, suggesting that the artist feels as though they are struggling to find their place in the world.
