Today, February 18, MGK released the official music video for “starman,” a fan-favorite track pulled from his lost americana album—an era that’s lived in the hearts of his listeners long after the first playthrough. While the song has already earned its status as a standout among the album’s tracklist, the visual release feels like MGK cementing its place as something bigger: not just a song, but a statement.
The “starman” video arrives with that signature MGK blend of nostalgia and spectacle—built for the kind of fans who’ve been screaming the lyrics since day one. There’s a cinematic pulse to it, the kind that leans into mood over flash, but still carries the larger-than-life energy MGK has mastered over the years. It’s dreamy, it’s restless, and it’s soaked in that lost americana aesthetic: part late-night highway, part neon heartbreak, part modern rockstar mythology.
“starman” has always felt like a track designed to live beyond streaming numbers. It’s the kind of song fans claim as theirs—a cult favorite that somehow manages to feel both intimate and stadium-sized at once. And now, with an official visual attached, it steps into a new chapter, finally getting the full-scale treatment it deserves.
For MGK, the release is another reminder that he knows exactly how to keep his universe moving—expanding the story without abandoning the emotion. lost americana may already be established as one of his most personal projects, but “starman” proves he’s still mining it for gold.
And for MARVIN, the moment hits even harder. MGK isn’t just a chart fixture or a cultural lightning bolt—he’s also a former MARVIN Magazine cover star, and seeing him bring “starman” to life feels like watching an artist who’s always understood how to make music feel like a world you can step into.
