"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. In 2009, the song will be played in space to wake up the astronauts on the space station, with thanks to a successful twitter campaign asking NASA to play the song in space started by band member Tom Fletcher.

"Star Girl" was written by McFly and Jason 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 inspired by a dream Tom Fletcher had, about falling in love with an alien woman. The song was originally called 'Good Night', but the band felt the lyrics didn't fit. Tom had a dream about writing a massive, Westlife style song written about falling in love with an alien women so he decided to replace the 'Good Night' lyrics with the new lyrics hoping it would be as bigger success as the song he wrote in his dream.

On 15th of June 2009 McFly made a surprise guest apperence at the Jonas Brothers concert in Wembley Arena where they performed 'Star Girl' along with the Jonas Brothers.

Hey, I'm looking up for my star girl
I guess I'm stuck in this mad world
With things that I wanna say
But your a million miles away

And I was afraid when you kissed me
On your intergalactical frisbee
I wonder why, I wonder why
You never asked me to stay

Chorus:
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)So wouldn't you like to come with me
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)Surfin' the sun as it starts to rise
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)Woah, your gravity's makin' me dizzy

Girl I gotta tell ya,
I'm feelin' much better
Make a little love in the moonlight

Hey, there's nothing on Earth that could save us
When I fell in love with Uranus
I don't wanna give you away
Cause it makes no sense at all

Houston we got a problem
Ground control couldn't stop them
I wonder why, I wonder why
You never asked me to stay

Chorus:
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)Wouldn't you like to come with me
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)Surfin' the sun as it starts to rise
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)Woah, your gravity's makin' me dizzy

Girl I gotta tell ya,
I'm feelin' much better
Make a little love in the moonlight

Bridge:
Fly away
Watch the night turn into day
Dance on the Milky Way
Melt me with your eyes,
My star girl rules the skies
1,2,1,2,3,4

I'm looking up for my star girl
Guess I'm stuck in this mad, mad world
Things that I wanna say
But your a million miles away

Chorus:
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)So wouldn't you like to come with me
(ooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooooooh oooooooh)
Go surfin' the sun as it starts to rise Yeah, wouldn't you like to come with me (yeah)

Girl I gotta tell ya,
I'm feelin' much better
I can't get enough of you

Galaxy defenders
Stay forever
Never get enough of you
