Valentina Moretti charts her own orbit on “StarStruck”

From its first electronic pulse, Valentina Moretti’s new single “StarStruck” makes it clear that this is not about escaping to another place, but about staying, inhabiting the body and the moment, even when everything around you seems to push you to leave.

The song is built on an indie dance and electro-pop foundation that moves forward with a steady, physical rhythm designed for the dance floor. But beneath that surface lies the firm idea that not every promise of adventure is freedom.

The narrative introduces Space Val, a character experiencing a night at a club on Earth when a bright and seductive alien figure appears, offering something bigger, farther away, and more “special.” The proposal sounds tempting but also imprecise. As the song progresses, Valentina dismantles that fantasy with a clear argument. There is no salvation pending, no higher destination that justifies abandoning what already belongs to you.

Outer space functions here as a metaphor for those narratives that promise transcendence while hiding control. The lyrics state it plainly: “You say you wanna save me / You know I’m human, right?” And the question that arises is, save from what? From where? And under what conditions?

One of the song’s strengths is how it translates that idea into the language of the body. Musically, “StarStruck” relies on repetition, pulse, and continuous movement. And the phrase, “Take your tears away. I still have dreams on Earth. I see your dark intentions. I think I rather stay” establishes a clear boundary.

The song can also be read as a direct analogy of Valentina’s everyday experience as a trans woman. The alien represents those external gazes that project curiosity, concern, or fascination but are rooted in the idea that her identity needs to be explained, corrected, or taken elsewhere. “StarStruck” responds with the certainty that there is nothing to complete and nothing to fix.

The track commits to emotional self-sufficiency, proclaiming that happiness is not on another planet, nor in another narrative, nor in external approval. It is in the present, in the body, in the decision to keep moving forward and keep dancing.

With this release, Valentina Moretti prepares the ground for her next creative phase, marked by the launch of her label, CyberFetish, and the Soy Machin project.
