Years & Years release new banger ‘Starstruck’

“Whatever we’re doing or wherever we are in life, I think we all deserve three minutes of interstellar ecstasy.”

Returning with the first new slice of music since 2018 album ‘Palo Santo’, Years & Years - now an Olly Alexander solo project - have dropped brand new banger ‘Starstruck’.

A huge pop anthem destined to be this year’s summer bop, Olly says the track “came together one night at a studio in the countryside outside of London. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d seen so many stars, you get used to them not being there when you live in the city. Since we’ve all had to stop, all I’ve wanted to do is go out and dance. So I’ve been putting all that pent up energy into the music. ‘Starstruck’ is about the rush you get when you’re with somebody you’re really into, it’s about holding onto a good feeling and not letting it go. Like most of us I’ve spent the past year at home, and I wanted to create something super positive and fun for people (and myself) to bop along too. Whatever we’re doing or wherever we are in life, I think we all deserve three minutes of interstellar ecstasy.”
