"Stardust" is a song recorded by German singer Lena Meyer-Landrut. It was written by Rosi Golan and Tim Myers and produced by Swen Meyer for her same-titled third studio album (2012). Built upon a percussion-heavy melody, the song was released by Universal Music Germany on 21 September 2012 as the album's lead single. Meyer-Landrut described "Stardust" as "Michael Jackson meets The Kelly Family."
The song earned largely positive reviews from music critics who called it Stardust's highlight. It debuted and peaked at number two on the German Singles Chart, reaching Gold status, and peaked within the top 20 of the Austrian Singles Chart. Its music video, directed by Bode Brodmüller and filmed in the Spanish Bardenas Reales semi-desert in southeast Navarre, won the Echo Music Prize for Best Video, while the song itself was nominated for Best Single at the 1LIVE Krone Awards.[1]
