"Popstar" is an unreleased song written by Rivers Cuomo.
Overview
"Popstar" has been described by Cuomo as being about himself as a dancer. The song apparently interpolates the aria "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" (also known as "Habanera") from the 1875 opera Carmen.[1] "Popstar" was first mentioned by Cuomo in April of 2023, as an existing song[2] in contention to be retrofitted into Rewind, a potential Weezer album concept generated by the large language model ChatGPT.[3] As of August of 2023, the song is reportedly no longer in contention for an album.[1]
