Last night we partied a bit too hard
It's not quite coming back to me so far
I might not have slept but I woke up a superstar
On another side of the world

I keep my head down stay away from the flash
The whole dance floor is saying I've got to smash
And I don't mind if it's all for the fans
Because the next thing you know I'm big in japan

S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan

Now you know I gotta run, got a shark on my back
I got a 10 ton agent wanna hear my tracks
This is gonna work, this is amazing
We could take it to the world with a perfect timing

If you don't know how you could do it like david
He's so hot right now he's a pretty big deal
Cut a manager in to come up with a plan
And the next thing you know I'm big in japan

Last night we partied a bit too hard
It's not quite coming back to me so far
I might not have slept but I woke up a superstar
On another side of the world

I keep my head down stay away from the flash
The whole dancefloor is saying I've got to smash
And I don't mind if it's all for the fans
Because the next thing you know I'm big in japan

S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan (I'm big in japan)
S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan

S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
S T A R that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan

Big in japan, you're big in japan
Big in japan, you're big in japan
