In the 17^th edition of Dazzling Duets (2025), Saweetie and TWICE collaborate on “superstars”.  Let the dazzle begin!

“Ya, I like the cars, the cars that go boom.” Oh, really, Momo (of TWICE)? According to Saweetie, in the outro of “Superstars”, “It’s a Icy girl, vra-vroom, vra-vroom, vroom.” Whenever simulating an engine revving up, it’s clear that a song is suggestive, and even, sexed up to the nth degree.  The Grammy-nominated rapper and the K-pop girl group join forces on this brief bop that runs under two-and-a-half minutes.  There are lots of cooks in the kitchen when it comes to songwriting… double digits! Stefan Johnson and Fermin Suero Jr. produced it.

“Superstars” begins with various members of TWICE singing the chorus (“I got friends that wanna party and they look like superstars”). The sound of the record is bright and warm, set in a major key. Following the memorable chorus, Saweetie brings a respectable cadence and flow in the first verse. “Passenger princess whippin’ the coupe (Coupe) / I’m finna pull up on you,” she raps, and adds, “Ride or die, I be there ‘til the wheels off / Take me home, got you taking my heels off.” Oh, snap! Before the chorus, Saweetie introduces a pre-chorus that expresses her desires.  Following the chorus, there is a brief bridge, where she asks, “Do you like it when I drive fast?” and, “If I switch gears, can you last?” Damn! Sweetie takes the reins in the second verse as well, revving up the innuendo: “Top down, ass out / Grab that wheel, don’t crash out / Spoiled lil brat, I’ma do me / Got that boy so stressed out.” Indeed! Although “superstars” is short, it is a fun listen.
