Starboy Remix Lyrics (English Translation) – Zell, Duki

Starboy Remix (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro (Duki)]
The intro sets the mood for the song, showing off a flashy lifestyle full of money, confidence, and desire. The singer watches a girl dancing while money rains down, referencing Benjamin Franklin, whose face is on the 0 bill. He brags about his wealth and influence, saying he can erase and restart things whenever he wants. He even prays for her beauty, jokingly asking God to bless it. He knows she doesn’t love her boyfriend and urges her to admit it, suggesting he has already left his mark on her, both physically and emotionally. By calling himself her “starboy,” he positions himself as someone she desires, someone better than her current relationship.

[Chorus (Zell & Neo Pistea)]
The chorus is all about power, attraction, and luxury. The singers make it clear they aren’t playing games—they live in a world where money flows freely, and they enjoy watching women dance and embrace the lavish lifestyle. Even if the girl has a boyfriend, they don’t care, telling her not to ask questions. Many men want to be with her, but the artists claim she stands out from the rest. They also make it clear that they aren’t just anyone—they are the ones in control, the “starboys” she desires. The lyrics emphasize confidence and independence, showing that the artists know their worth. They invite the girl to be with them, offering excitement and something different from the ordinary. They highlight their success, carrying stacks of cash in their backpacks and spending freely, reinforcing their dominant, wealthy image.

[Verse 1 (Neo Pistea & Duki)]
This verse dives deeper into the luxurious and intense nature of their relationships. Money is raining down like in a nightclub, showing off the extravagant lifestyle they live. The woman keeps coming back because they bring excitement and passion. The lyrics get more explicit, reinforcing how much control and attraction they have over her. They express surprise that she even has a boyfriend because, in their eyes, she seems more interested in them. At the same time, they acknowledge that she feels jealous of their own relationships. The lyrics also play with contrasts—while she imagines a deep connection, they see it as something physical and fun. They compare themselves to famous figures, saying they have always been dominant in their world, much like how a “trap” version of Anthony (Marc Anthony) would never match up with J.Lo. The verse overall focuses on dominance, passion, and luxury, with a hint of emotional conflict.

[Verse 2 (Duki)]
Duki takes a more poetic approach here, promising to give her the world and make her forget logic, meaning he wants her to stop thinking and just enjoy the moment. He encourages her to stop hesitating, replacing uncertainty with a strong “yes.” However, he also admits that if she treats him too kindly, he might get confused about their relationship. He describes himself as a bard, someone who tells stories through music, and hints that she never takes responsibility for their situation. He questions what they’re really doing—he’s been writing songs for her for a long time, but where is this leading? The verse also explores a deeper connection, suggesting they are linked across different dimensions, yet still struggle to make clear decisions. He refers to their relationship as a “contract” with terms and conditions, showing a mix of emotional detachment and playfulness. Despite everything, he watches her from a distance, admiring her but unsure where things stand.

[Verse 3 (Zell)]
This verse is short but reinforces the main themes of the song—wealth, desire, and uncertainty about the future. Zell boasts about his success, saying he can make her count his money, showing his dominance. He knows that without even trying, he excites her, making her want to be with him. He mentions how others are jealous of his success, but he doesn’t care—he keeps rising higher. The verse ends on a note of uncertainty, admitting that he doesn’t know where this relationship will go. It might be something more, or it might not. The lyrics leave things open-ended, capturing the unpredictable nature of attraction and relationships in their world.

[Chorus (Zell & Duki, Both, Neo Pistea)]
The final chorus repeats the main ideas—power, confidence, and a carefree attitude toward relationships. The artists again emphasize that they aren’t playing around. Money flows freely, and they enjoy watching the women around them embrace their luxurious world. Even if she has a boyfriend, they tell her not to ask questions, implying that they are the better choice. Other men may want to be like her, but she is unique, and they remind her that they aren’t just anyone—they are the “starboys.” They again highlight how they are different from the rest, bringing excitement and a unique energy that keeps her hooked. The song closes with a feeling of dominance and confidence, reinforcing the idea that they live by their own rules and don’t get attached easily.
