Certified quadruple platinum in Spain, ‘Superestrella’ is the biggest solo hit of Aitana’s career. And its impact continues, despite having missed number 1, probably forever: the song has become one of the unofficial anthems of the Spanish team during the World Cup, although still far from the phenomenon that ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis is creating for the English team.
During the World Cup, ‘Superestrella’ has been played after several victories for Spain, and Aitana herself reacted a few days ago to the video of American streamer Speed crying her eyes out after Portugal’s defeat, accompanied by the euphoric melody of ‘Superestrella’.
The song, which was not even initially released as a ‘Cuarto azul’ single, began to take off during the summer of 2025 and, a year later, it is still in the top 10 of Spanish singles. From its premiere on the album and its presence in Aitana’s documentary to its unexpected association with the national team, ‘Superestrella’ has not stopped finding new lives. And now add one more.
In recent days, a reinterpretation of ‘Superestrella’ in the key of city pop, the sophisticated style of Japanese pop that experienced its golden age in the 80s, has begun to circulate on Instagram. Content creator Ayna Marron has imagined what the chorus of the song would sound like in this genre, also incorporating a fragment sung in Korean. Although the video only lasts a few seconds, the result has aroused the enthusiasm of his followers and has made more than one request a full version on platforms.
The comments on the publication reflect the same, where numerous users describe the reinterpretation as “genius” and praise Ayna Marron’s voice. Some even tag Aitana to listen to the version. The adaptation also demonstrates how well the ‘Superestrella’ melody works within a city pop production, an elegant, warm and casual style of sound.
