"Superstar" is a song by Welsh singer and songwriter Marina from her fourth studio album, Love + Fear (2019). The song was written by Marina, Ben Berger, Ryan McMahon, and Ryan Rabin, while produced by Sam de Jong and Captain Cuts. It was released for digital download and streaming as the album's second single on 1 March 2019 by Atlantic Records. Marina cited the song as a result of the creative freedom she demanded, lacking from her previous albums, when creating it. It is a synth-pop and electro ballad that was often compared to other releases in Marina's catalogue. A love song, the lyrics describe a couple who have worked hard to achieve a desirable relationship.
"Superstar" received generally mixed reviews from music critics upon release. Depending on the review, Marina's lyrics for the song were either largely appreciated or considered careless. The song was included on the setlist for her fourth concert tour, the Love + Fear Tour (2019). An acoustic version of the song appears on Marina's seventh extended play, Love + Fear (Acoustic) (2019). A music video for the acoustic version was released in September 2019 and directed by Nikko LaMere. It depicts Marina dancing and singing in a dimly lit room, while giving the impression of being underwater.
