Starlight (The Supermen Lovers song)

"Starlight" is a song by French house musician the Supermen Lovers (also known as Guillaume Atlan), featuring Mani Hoffman on lead vocals. The female vocals on the song were performed by Israeli singer-songwriter Nili. The song contains a sample of "The Rock" (1978) by disco assemblage East Coast. "Starlight" was released as Atlan's debut single and as the first single from his debut album, The Player, on 17 March 2001. It became a chart hit, peaking at number two in both France and the United Kingdom and entering the top 10 in New Zealand, Norway, and Wallonia.

In 2025, a remix featuring OneRepublic was released under the title "Starlight (The Fame)".

Music video

The music video tells the story of the misadventures of a young man trying to make it in the music industry. Following a chance meeting with a mouse, he finds short-lived success, only to be fired by his manager. The video ends with alien visitors, who picked up a broadcast of the young man's music, trying to pick him up, but the young man is too big to fit in their spaceship. They take the mouse away to a life of luxury, leaving the man alone and destitute.

The video was produced by brothers David and at Passion Pictures.
