The song’s lyrics, such as “Worldstar money, I’m in love with the money,” and “I’m in love with the fame, I’m in love with the pain,” directly address the obsession with material wealth and public recognition.
Joji’s use of “Worldstar” as a reference to the notorious hip-hop website known for its sensationalism and drama, underscores the superficial nature of the fame it represents.
The repetition of “I’m in love with the money” highlights the addictive and hollow pursuit of wealth, while the line “I’m in love with the pain” suggests that the emotional toll of this lifestyle is as compelling as the fame itself.
The interlude format, often used to provide a brief, reflective pause, fits perfectly with the song’s introspective and somewhat melancholic tone, inviting listeners to contemplate the true cost of chasing fame and fortune.
