Meaning of “SHOOTING STAR” by XG
“SHOOTING STAR” is the type of song you would expect from a K-pop act, one based on the concept of confidently and persistently pursuing a goal. However, in this case, the focus in that regard is very much on the vocalists themselves.
So the lyrics not only speak to how Jurin, Maya and the rest of the gang are those chicks. But they also allude to the girls’ tenacity when it comes to achieving their ultimate goal, which, as Jurin put it in her own words, is “to become a world-class group”.
“Yeah, we ridin’, ridin’, ridin’ on up
So shinin’, shinin’, shinin’ for sure
Ooh, ah, I’m lookin’ so lavish
Ooh, ah, put in work like it’s a habit
It’s a big move, every day’s like a dream
Makin’ big moves, yeah, we do it for our team
Ooh, ah, I’m lookin’ so lavish
Ooh, ah, yeah, I bet you can’t imagine”
