"Star Girl" is the second single from McFly's third studio album, Motion in the Ocean, which was released in the UK on October 23, 2006. The song was the band's sixth #1 single in the UK, staying in the Top Ten for two weeks.

[edit] The Song

"Star Girl" was written by McFly and Perry, Emery and Carter. The single features a live recording of "Silence is a Scary Sound" from the Wonderland Tour 2005 DVD. "Silence is a Scary Sound" was written by McFly bassist, Dougie, when he was just 14 years old. The single also includes the first track from the Motion in the Ocean album, "We are the Young".

The song was written about Fletcher's dream about falling in love with an alien.
