Starstrukk

**Starstrukk** is a song recorded by American group 3OH!3. It is their third single and their second single to be released from their second studio album, _Want_ (2008). A radio-only and the deluxe album version has been released featuring singer Katy Perry. The version featuring Perry peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Poland and the United Kingdom. It is the follow-up to their debut single "Don't Trust Me".

## Background

3OH!3 was among the line-up of the Warped Tour 2008 where they met Katy Perry. The band then toured with her on the UK dates of her _Hello Katy Tour_ in February 2009. They said of Perry's participation to the song: "Katy did this because we toured with Katy, we are good friends with Katy and we worked on the song together — we worked on the remix together." "Starstrukk" was the second single from 3OH!3’s album _Want_ (2008). It hit US contemporary radio on August 4, 2009. A remix featuring Katy Perry came out on September 14, 2009. Perry later added this remix to the deluxe edition of her _Teenage Dream_ album, and 3OH!3 included it on the international edition of their _Streets of Gold_ album.

## Music videos

The music video for the song premiered on June 8, 2009, on AOL. A "behind the scenes" video was released before that. It was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Steve Jocz, drummer of Sum 41. The video features girls in fluorescent outfits chasing 3OH!3, a chaotic scene with construction workers, a marching band, and lots of whipped cream. Jocz explained that the concept was about people piling together to form a huge dogpile. Sean Foreman of 3OH!3 said, "the video is looking awesome."

The second music video for "Starstrukk," directed by Marc Klasfeld and Steve Jocz, features Katy Perry and was filmed at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum's Rose Garden on September 21, 2009. The video shows 3OH!3 sitting by a fountain, pulling out coins that cause women to chase them. Perry and 3OH!3 sing together by the fountain, and Perry dances under the fountain at night during her verse. The video’s story is inspired by the movie _When in Rome_, with its theme of magical coins in a fountain. It also includes references to _James Bond_ films, _West Side Story_, and _Baywatch_.
