Story Behind The Song
The beginning is about maintaining your image and coming off as someone who is fashionably late, wears the best clothes, drives the nicest cars, etc. I had to do this for a while to maintain good PR and attract the attention of bigger names in the industry. Then through the choruses are about the live show-playing life, all the girls chasing you, the kids waiting in ridiculously long lines to see you play and meet you and the bridge is about the behind the scenes aspect of maintaining a steady image, don't let the masses know your problems and explains that it's all about who you know to get an "in" in the industry, to become a star. It's an inspiring song with high energy and it has a very playful mood to it because this is the direction I take and the attitude I try to keep when promoting and working through the barriers that come up.

Lyrics
We all dress to impress so we shine like the stars. We don't ever show on time because we like to take things just a bit too far.
All the kids in line to see us stretch for miles. And we party like it's going out of style. We get it in like that's just who we are. Because we shine just like the stars, yeah we shine just like the stars. We shine just like the stars.
So just let it go. There's no one in this world who has to know. Because these girls don't ever show up just to dance. Because they always wind up with me in their pants.
All the kids in line to see us stretch for miles. And we party like it's going out of style. We get it in like that's just who we are. Because we shine just like the stars, yeah we shine just like the stars. We shine just like the stars.
All the kids in line to see us stretch for miles. And we party like it's going out of style. Forget about the problems they don't know. Because you've got to get on with the show, so go get on with the show. Because it's all about who you know. It's all about who you know.
All the kids in line to see us stretch for miles. And we party like it's going out of style. We get it in like that's just who we are. Because we shine just like the stars, yeah we shine just like the stars. We shine just like the stars.
