Some might say songs like this have become a bit too familiar, even archetypal. But honestly, that’s where the charm lies for me. I never get tired of heartbreak ballads that cut straight to the emotions, tapping into memories and thoughts you didn’t even know were still sitting there.

“Starcrossed” by Kings Elliot sounds like it was born in a time when people still wrote letters by hand and tucked them into drawers to be kept safe. And yet, it fits seamlessly into today’s world, where moments are measured in Instagram stories and viral sounds. Feeling sad to a pretty melody? That’s practically a genre on TikTok now. It’s strange and kind of beautiful how this one song manages to channel vintage sentimentality and the current generation’s emotional fluency all at once. I don’t think anyone could really ignore it.
The song carries a lot of theatrical weight. It’s unapologetically dramatic, but it never tips into melodrama. “Starcrossed” leans into vulnerability and emotion with a kind of confidence that makes it timeless. It’s the kind of track that reminds you why songs like this keep coming back—and why you’ll want to remember the name Kings Elliot.
