"[4] Sivan explained that sampling "Shooting Stars" came naturally while he and his team were working on the song in the studio but that he did not actually believe that Bag Raiders members Jack Glass and Chris Stracey would allow him to use the track in the final version.

Shot in Bangkok, Thailand, the video includes various clips of Sivan, featuring him walking and running through the city, sitting nude in a bathhouse, flying up the side of a building and engaging in choreography with several dancers.

The video also features cameos from fellow UMG recording artist PP Krit, and Thai drag performers Angele Anang, Année Maywong, and Miss Gimhuay.

"[6] In reviews for the album Something to Give Each Other, Pitchfork stated that "'Got Me Started' bookends its propulsive two-step beat with a sample snatched from Bag Raiders' 'Shooting Stars', aka from that years-old meme.

"[8] The song was used in a sketch during the 49th season of Saturday Night Live featuring Bowen Yang as a doctor examining Sarah Sherman, a patient who has started seeing visions of a dancing Sivan (played by host Timothée Chalamet, with Boygenius appearing as clones) as her sleep paralysis demon.
