"Lil Star" is the second international single from Kelis' Grammy Award-nominated fourth studio album, Kelis Was Here (2006). Released outside US (where "Blindfold Me" served as the second single), the single features Cee-Lo, who is known for being a half of the duo Gnarls Barkley. Following the moderate success of "Bossy", the single has proven to be a return to form for Kelis; it debuted at number eight in Ireland and was also a huge hit in the United Kingdom reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart. The track was hailed by many music fans and critics as Kelis' "comeback" single, despite the fact "Bossy" was written specifically for Kelis' return to music.
The single sold 125,000 copies in the United Kingdom, going on to become the sixty-first biggest-selling single of 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words lil and/or star:
“On her headstone you’ll find this refrain:
‘She died as she lived, sniffing cocaine.’”
—Unknown. Cocaine Lil (l. 27–28)
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
