Starboy

Lyrics meaning of Starboy by The Weeknd ft Daft Punk

This electropop tune explores themes of opulence and living the high life. It was the lead track on his 2016 third studio album with the same name. The Weeknd explained to Zane Lowe that "Starboy" is his alter ego and that "he's a more braggadocios character that we all have inside of us."

The Weeknd was particularly keen to get in touch with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk, whom he had initially encountered at a LA party. Regardless of whether they collaborated on music or not, he told Variety's Jem Aswad that his first intention was just to become friends with them. Guy-Manuel frequently complimented The Weeknd's work over drinks, and The Weeknd recalled that he spent more time partying than working with him.

Starboy lyrics by The Weeknd ft Daft Punk

I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah

P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah

Milli point two just to hurt you, ah

All red lamb just to tease you, ah

None of these toys on lease too, ah

Made your whole year in a week too, yeah

Main bitch out of your league too, ah

Side bitch out of your league too, ah

House so empty, need a centerpiece

Twenty racks, a table cut from ebony

Cut that ivory into skinny pieces

Then she clean it with her face, man

I love my baby

You talking money, need a hearing aid

You talking 'bout me, I don't see the shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Every day a nigga try to test me, ah

Every day a nigga try to end me, ah

Pull off in that roadster SV, ah

Pockets over weight getting hefty, ah

Coming for the king, that's a far cry

I come alive in the fall time I

No competition, I don't really listen

I'm in the blue Mulsanne bumping New Edition

House so empty, need a centerpiece

Twenty racks, a table cut from ebony

Cut that ivory into skinny pieces

Then she clean it with her face, man

I love my baby

You talking money, need a hearing aid

You talking 'bout me, I don't see the shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Let a nigga brag Pitt

Legend of the fall took the year like a bandit

Bought mama a crib and a brand new wagon

Now she hit the grocery shop looking lavish

Star Trek roof in that Wraith of Khan

Girls get loose when they hear this song

Hundred on the dash get me close to God

We don't pray for love, we just pray for cars

House so empty, need a centerpiece

Twenty racks, a table cut from ebony

Cut that ivory into skinny pieces

Then she clean it with her face

Man, I love my baby

You talking money, need a hearing aid

You talking 'bout me, I don't see the shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Look what you've done!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm a motherfuckin' Starboy
