Michael Aldag, a singer-songwriter from Liverpool, is back with a new single called "Superstar." This song, along with Aldag's 2025 EP "Crying in the Club" and last November's single Hell, shows that he can turn his own problems into music that everyone can relate to.
Aldag wrote "Superstar" with producer Robin Stjernberg. The song is about the ups and downs of following your dreams. The song captures that bittersweet moment of nostalgia and self-reflection, when he looks back on a time when life was exciting and full of possibilities, only to face the confusing reality of feeling lost and unsure. The direction is apparent, but Aldag puts it in a way that feels both relieving and universal, giving listeners a chance to see their own moments of doubt.
Keira Repp, who worked with Aldag on Hell, directed the animated lyric video for the song, adding another layer of artistry. The video tells a dynamic story that aligns with the song's emotional core and adds to the introspective, self-discovery theme.
"Superstar" is a confession, a reckoning, and a celebration of flaws. Aldag turns the thing that once sent him into a downward spiral into a creative force. This shows how music can turn pain into something profoundly moving. With this release, he keeps making a place for himself in the singer-songwriter scene that is unmistakably his own: honest, thoughtful, and ultimately hopeful. For fans of emotional stories with excellent production, "Superstar" is another step in Michael Aldag's journey. It reminds us that art can show us the way even when life seems uncertain.
