"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.
