SHINee releases music video for new Japanese single 'SUPERSTAR'

SHINee just keeps coming back in 2021 and we aren't complaining.

After surprising fans with the unexpected release of “SUPERSTAR” on various digital platforms last May 24, K-pop boy group SHINee has finally dropped the music video for the said Japanese single on Tuesday, June 29.

The three-minute video, which was filmed before member Taemin's military enlistment, shows the boys in both formal and casual clothes in various backdrops having fun and just being their playful selves.

“SUPERSTAR” was previously described by Japanese entertainment news site Modelpress as “a minimal and addictive cheering song with lyrics that contain messages of encouragement from SHINee.”

Part of the lyrics goes: “Hey girl, it's your world / It's all up to you / we can all be a Superstar / Hey, baby it's your life / No one else can take the leading role, you know / You're a Superstar / It's up to you, how the future holds / Be free and live it, one step at a time / No one can stop you, you can go beyond / Keep believing in yourself / Like a Superstar.”

Shawols showered the boys with love and expressed their delight on Twitter:

Aside from the title track, the album contains four other songs: “Closer,” “SEASONS,” “Atlantis,” and the Japanese version of “Don't Call Me.”

The digital album was released on Monday, June 28, while all seven versions of the physical album will be available on July 28.

SHINee first performed "SUPERSTAR" during their “Bistro de SHINee” special broadcast in celebration of their 10th debut anniversary in Japan last May 23. This marks the group's first Japanese comeback since “Sunny Side” in 2018.

Composed of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin, SHINee debuted in Korea on May 25, 2008 and in Japan on June 22, 2011.
