"When You Wasn't Famous" is a single by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project The Streets.

The song's verses recount Skinner's unsuccessful attempt to seduce a female pop star.

The lyrics are purportedly autobiographical, but Skinner has never confirmed the identity of the pop star (who at one point is described "smok[ing] crack") in question.

The video features Mike Skinner as a patient at a celebrity detox clinic, trying to avoid exposure by the paparazzi.
