"Superstar" is a song written by Cutfather, Joe Belmaati, and Remee, and performed by Danish pop singer Christine Milton.

"Superstar" was covered by British R&B singer Jamelia for her second studio album, Thank You. It was released as the album's second single on 15 September 2003 through Parlophone. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number eight but as airplay, video play and the general awareness of the track increased, after a month on the track climbed to a peak of number three. "Superstar" became the 26th biggest selling single of 2003, the first appearance for Jamelia in the Official Chart of the Year,[10] and has sold 260,000 copies as of 2013.[10] The single has been certified silver in the UK by the BPI, spending 20 weeks in the chart, over double that of her previous biggest hit, "Money" (2000).

"Superstar" also saw worldwide chart success including a peak of number one in Australia and New Zealand along with top ten positions in over 15 other countries. The song earned the songwriters an Ivor Novello Award for "Most Performed Work", being the most performed song in the United Kingdom in 2003.[11] According to the Performing Right Society, "Superstar" was the fourth most popular song of the 2000s (decade) in the UK based on the amount of plays and performances.[12]

This song appeared on the Japanese video game Dance Dance Revolution FESTIVAL, and its European counterpart Dancing Stage Fusion. It is also featured on the karaoke game Lips as downloadable content and appeared on the soundtrack to the American reality television show Queer Eye.
