"I have a friend who has been treated as an odd person because of their eye-catching dress code, peculiar taste, variety of talents, a defense mechanism derived from shyness, and personality that has strong opinions on most things. I love my friend even more because of these characteristics, but they said that they had to live through more hatred for the same reasons. I started by writing down the words I wanted to say to my 'odd' friend, but as I wrote, I gradually realized that this was also my story. After completing the lyrics, I thought that it wasn't unnatural at all if I substituted anyone, not just me or my friend, as the main character. Everyone feels alienated at one point because they didn't meet the standards set by others. Including my friend, I want to speak to everyone who was born as strong but unique, that you are not an odd person, but that you are like a star." - IU
Fun fact: The word 'celebrity' (with a star on top of letter "i") at the beginning was actually handwritten by IU using her left hand. She also wrote invisible star with her left hand and arm while dancing.
I cried when I watched this for the first time, too. IU's my role female model. She's strong, beautiful, independent, and kind. I really aspire to find myself as she did one day.
You are on the right track, IU said that this song was about a celebrity she knows personally(unnamed) and this person would be gossiped and talked about being different /odd. However, that is what made this person so special to IU and ended up loving her all the more for her uniqueness. Thnx Caitlyn for this reaction! Luv ya!😊
You look beautiful Caitlyn! Also love your reaction I was excited for this too because I love her voice so much! Also I don't know if this is what she meant but in the verse "you're a star painted with a left hand" is like the beginning how celebrity is written (with a left hand and a star on top) its imperfect but she still finds it beautiful
Your back to iu its been a long time its just a pre release song of her full length album thats iu she make u dance at the same time she makes u cry by her writing
OK, I'm inspired to watch Hotel del Luna now. It's been on my list forever, but I always started other stuff. I have yet to see IU act! eek! Thank you for the reaction, Caitlyn!!
