5 highlights from the new Star Awards theme song music video

This year’s Star Awards is a very special one: it is the 25th anniversary of local TV’s biggest event, and to mark this Silver Jubilee, a brand new theme song has been unveiled.

The tune is called ‘Starlight (星光)’ and is penned by Mandopop maestro Jim Lim, who has worked with some of the biggest names in Chinese music including A-Mei, Stefanie Sun, and Fish Leong. “To me, the Star Awards will always be about glamour, but behind that glamour lies unseen hard work, sweat and tears. That was the inspiration for my song,” shared the composer in a statement.

While Zoe Tay, Chen Han Wei, Rebecca Lim, and Desmond Tan are set to perform the track live at the Star Awards ceremony next month, we had our first listen at the Top 40 press conference last week, courtesy of SPOP SING! alumni Jarrell Ng, Marcus Tay, Karena Yeo, and Daryl-Ann Jansen. It is also their voices that are heard in a new music video for the song that was released on Toggle this morning.

The music video is a montage of past Star Awards moments that take us on one major walk down memory lane. Click through to see some of our personal favourite highlights, and watch the full clip on Toggle here.
