Saweetie & TWICE – superstars : It’s Not a Party, It’s a Lifestyle
Ever have one of those days? The kind where your outfit is perfect, your hair is cooperating, and the playlist you’ve got on is hitting just right. You catch your reflection in a window and can’t help but smile, thinking, “Yeah, I’m the main character today.” It’s a feeling of pure, uncut confidence, a vibe that makes you feel like you can take on the world.
That exact energy is what Saweetie and TWICE bottled up and served on a platinum platter with their track, “superstars.” On the surface, it’s a windows-down, volume-up banger perfect for a night out. But if you listen a little closer, you’ll realize this song is so much more than just a party anthem. It’s a declaration of self-worth and an invitation into a world where you and your friends run the show. Let’s dive in and unpack the story it’s telling.

The song kicks off with an immediate invitation, not just to a car, but to a state of mind. It’s an exclusive offer, but the only requirement for entry is knowing your own worth. The car here isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a metaphor for a lifestyle, a bubble of confidence and fun that Saweetie is driving.
Setting the Scene: The “Passenger Princess” Takes the Wheel
Saweetie’s opening verse immediately flips a popular trope on its head. She calls herself a “passenger princess,” a term we usually associate with someone being chauffeured around. But she immediately follows it with “whippin’ a coupe.” She’s not waiting for someone to pick her up; she’s the one in control. She’s driving, she’s pulling up, and she’s doing it because she feels too good to stay home. It’s a power move.
Passenger princess whippin’ a coupe
I’m finna pull up on you
Can’t sit in the house when I’m looking this cute
Come give me something to do
She continues to build this picture of a partnership built on equal footing. When she says, “You a boss and it’s matching my energy,” she’s not just hyping up her partner; she’s setting a standard. It’s not about him being a “big daddy” who provides for her, but about him having an energy that is powerful enough to match hers. She’s the benchmark, and he’s meeting it. That’s a huge distinction. This isn’t a song about being spoiled by someone else; it’s about being so successful and confident that you spoil yourself and invite someone to share in that.
The Ultimate Invitation: “You Can Hop Up In My Car”
The chorus is the heart of the song, and it’s brilliant in its simplicity. It’s a recurring invitation that becomes more and more enticing each time we hear it. Let’s break it down.
You can hop up in my car
You know who you are
This part is so important. The invitation is open, but specifically for those who “know who you are.” It’s for the people who recognize their own light, their own “superstar” quality. It implies a sense of community and mutual recognition. It’s like a secret handshake for the confident.
I got friends that wanna party and they look like superstars
Play our favorite song and you can watch us go bizarre
Here, she’s not just talking about physical looks. Her friends “look like superstars” because they radiate that same main character energy. They are a collective of confident, vibrant people. And “go bizarre” isn’t about being out of control; it’s about being so comfortable and free that you can let go of inhibitions and be your most authentic, fun-loving self. It’s a celebration of friendship and shared joy.
“Sour Patch Hoes Hate Me”: The Unapologetic Flex
Every story about shining bright has a little bit of shade, and Saweetie addresses it with iconic, casual confidence. She doesn’t dwell on the negativity; she dismisses it in one of the most memorable lines of the song.
Sour Patch hoes hate me on the radio
But the pretty girls screaming out, “That’s my song”
This is gold. The “Sour Patch hoes”—first they’re sour, then they’re sweet—represent the haters and the fake friends. She acknowledges their existence but immediately pivots to who really matters: the “pretty girls” who feel seen and empowered by her music. And “pretty” here isn’t just about appearance; it’s an inner quality, a vibe. Her music is an anthem for them, and that’s all the validation she needs. The line “Even on an off day, I’m on” is the ultimate confidence mantra. Even at her worst, she’s still better than most at their best.
Beyond the Beat: The Real Takeaway
So, what’s the message we’re supposed to take home after the ride is over? “superstars” is a masterclass in self-celebration. It teaches that your biggest source of power is your own self-worth. It champions the idea of being the driver in your own life, not a passive passenger. The song is a powerful reminder that you should surround yourself with people who match your energy and celebrate your light—your fellow superstars.
The ultimate positive message is one of unapologetic joy. It’s about creating your own fun, defining your own success, and refusing to let anyone dim your shine. It’s about looking this cute, playing your favorite song, and letting yourself go a little bizarre with the people who get it.
So, What’s Your Take?
At the end of the day, music is all about personal interpretation. This is what “superstars” feels like to me—a vibrant, confident anthem about living life on your own terms. But hey, that’s just my take on it. When you blast this song, what story do you hear? Does it hype you up for a night out, or does it give you that little boost of confidence for your day-to-day life? I’d love to know what this track means to you. Let’s discuss in the comments!
