Kids Are Born Stars

Track

“Kids Are Born Stars“ was the third and final single to Lauv's second studio album “All 4 Nothing“, and is the third overall on the album. A music video accompanied the track, both of which were released on June 28, 2022. Lauv said the following about the track: “When I started this album, I was going through a big existential crisis, questioning everything I had and why I had it. I was also struggling a lot with self-confidence and wondering if I ever truly had that, where I lost it, etc. I heard somewhere that as kids, we’re all born with this innate confidence and ability to be stars in whatever right that might be, but along the way its easy to lose that as the world beats it out of us, and a lot of us forget. so I set out on a journey to find my confidence and where my “starpower” came from. that included things like therapy, meditation (lots of it), and at worse times, shortcuts in things like substances and drinking. that being said, one of the most powerful things I found was this thing called inner child meditation. where you literally visualize yourself at a younger age and see what lessons, messages, or journeys this younger you may have for you. I literally had conversations with younger kid ari, at different ages, on multiple occasions. one of those turned into the song “Kids Are Born Stars“, and a lot of the rest of it, helped me find my north star throughout the rest of the album writing process and life. sitting here today, I would say I’m not fully healed (I don’t think one ever can be, and thats not the point), but I’ve found a deeper connection with the true me and learned that confidence is all about accepting yourself exactly as you are, playing that to your strengths, and moving through life intimately with yourself. I can’t wait for you guys to hear the rest of this journey on this album, but next, I’m just so excited for you guys to hear K“ids Are Born Stars“, and watch the video. it’s out tomorrow (June 28th) at 11:30 am est. See you there, or be square. jk ily xoxo ari“ —via YouTube “I discovered inner-child meditation and that led to this song. I was at a therapy retreat in the middle of nowhere Arizona, guided through meditation. You visualize yourself at a younger age. And for me, different ages were coming up—eight-year-old me, 12-year-old me, 14-year-old me going on these little journeys to reconnect with memories from those times or things that felt significant or things you forgot about. ‘Kids Are Born Stars’ is very much the song version of that—of me going back to my eighth-grade self and being like, ‘You’ve got this.’“ — via Apple Music Read more on Last.fm.
