SHINee surprised Shawols all over the world with the release of their latest Japanese single "SUPERSTAR" on various streaming platforms on Monday, May 24.
The song is the lead track of their upcoming Japanese album with the same title, which will drop on July 28.
In an article by Japanese entertainment news site Modelpress, the three-minute track is described as “a minimal and addictive cheering song” with lyrics that “contain messages of encouragement from SHINee like 'It's up to you to change everything,' 'Let's pursue our own happiness,' and 'Let's live a life of believing in ourselves rather than a life of comparisons.'”

Listen to "SUPERSTAR" here:
SHINee first performed "SUPERSTAR" during their “Bistro de SHINee” special broadcast in celebration of their 10th debut anniversary in Japan on Sunday, May 23. The Beyond Live fan event had the boys go through different restaurant-themed missions, from sweeping the floor blindfolded to passing ingredients using a spoon, a teaspoon, and a knife.
Congratulations on the Japan debut 10th Year Anniversary, @SHINee ! All the memories shared throughout the years continue to stay in our hearts and we will continue to create more!
