An '80s-influenced electronic pop record, Starfucker explores a "dramatized" and satirical view of Hollywood, focusing on the culture of drugs, vanity, and celebrity.

[6] Inspired by old Hollywood tropes and her own experience moving to Los Angeles to pursue a music career,[7] she wrote songs that invoke celebrity and 80s and 90s films.

[18] "Erotic Electronic" was released as the album's third single on August 18, 2023, alongside a music video where Slayyyter walks naked down Hollywood Boulevard.

[20] Slayyyter debuted tracks from Starfucker in her set at Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival in Las Vegas on September 22, 2023.

[22] Caitlin Chatterton of The Line of Best Fit gave the album a 9/10 review, declaring it "an express delivery of utterly skipless dance belters".

[25] Courtney DelMar of 50thirdandthird deemed the deluxe edition of Starfucker her definitive 2023 album of the year, and was complementary of Slayyyter's "choice to mostly eschew the straight disco pop that has been in vogue, and make something for the clubs that is a little more indebted to and informed by the underground.
