Music video

[edit | edit source]

The music video, directed by Christian Bevilacqua, was released on 13 November 2006. It was also featured in the Dolce & Gabbana Summer 2008 fashion show. The song itself depicts "flop stars" and the negative side to fame and explores the idea of others benefitting financially from the fame of celebrities.[4]

Samples

[edit | edit source]

The song was sampled twice by British singer PinkPantheress in two separate songs. She first sampled the song in her 2021 non-album single "Attracted to You",[5] and later in "Stars", a track from her 2025 mixtape Fancy That.[6]
