Background


Having been friends since 2012, Del Rey and the Weeknd had previously collaborated on his 2015 track, "Prisoner" from his album, Beauty Behind the Madness.[4] Following this, the two collaborated again in several studio sessions in 2015, resulting in the Starboy tracks "Stargirl Interlude" and "Party Monster", the latter of which Del Rey co-wrote and was an uncredited vocalist for.[5]


Commercial performance


Following the release of Starboy, several of the non-single tracks from the album debuted on numerous music charts, with "Stargirl" peaking at 61 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 73 on the UK Singles Chart. The song additionally appeared on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, peaking at number 21.[6] In 2022, "Stargirl Interlude" saw an increase in consumption as the song went viral on the social media platform TikTok alongside fellow album track "Die for You".[7][8] This increase in streaming and sales lead to the song's parent album to re-enter the top 40 on the Billboard 200 chart.[9]
