Background
Since the released of their last Japanese EP I Think U, the band Super Junior had released two singles through their subunits. Super Junior-K.R.Y. released Traveler in October 2020 and Super Junior-D&E released Wings in November 2020.[2][3] Star was described as the final piece to be released to complete the trilogy.[4]
Star was released on 27 January 2021,[4] as a compilation album to celebrate the band's 15th anniversary.[5] The album compiled the band's previous singles and featured two new tracks. The title track, "Star" is described as an up-tempo dance song with exciting beat and playful melody. The song's lyrics represent the beginning of a new adventure and aiming for the stars; expressing gratitude to their fans and wishes to continue their journey together.[4] The other track is a solo song self-written by Leeteuk. The song was previously sung by the artist during his fan meeting tour in 2016 but was never officially released.[6] The album peaked at number three on Billboard Japan Top Album Sales chart on its first week of sales, selling 24,200 copies.[7]
