"(Rock) Superstar" is the second single from Cypress Hill's fifth studio album, Skull & Bones.

Sony executive Donnie Ienner suggested adding guitars, which took the song "to a new level."

Cypress Hill put the song into both the hip-hop and alternative markets, because they had fans in both places.

[5] Coal Chamber bassist Nadja Peulen appears in a cameo as the bass player of the band performing at the song's climax.

It is diegetic, as the protagonist is seen starting the song and singing along, an in-universe soundtrack to a car chase that he seems to be enjoying.
