Discover the story of the song > Star People – George Michael

The song is about people who are famous and rich but feel empty inside. The protagonist thinks there are too many people like that, but he is not one of them. He talks to these "stars" and tells them that their secrets are safe with him. He wonders if they became famous because they had a difficult past or if they just wanted attention. He thinks they may be living in a dream and hiding their true feelings because they are afraid to show them. He asks them if they got off to a bad start in life and if that's why they became famous. He thinks they have so much money now that they don't care about their problems anymore. He wonders how much money and attention is enough for them.
