“Star Treatment” is the opener to the Arctic Monkeys' sixth studio album, co-produced by Alex Turner himself for the first time.
Throughout the song, Turner covers his past turmoils and inspirations before the fame, with a rich and meticulously crafted metaphor for how idolized celebrities are distorted by the media similar to the light of a star. The track also uses introspection to pay homage to icons such as The Strokes and Leonard Cohen.
"'In a way, it set the sound for the rest of the songs. It was like an open door that allowed us to immerse ourselves into this new sound.'"
- Alex Turner in an interview with Mondo Sonoro.
Alex also told Triple J:
"'It’s the first song I wrote for the record. It starts off as a song about songwriting. I think the reason for that is I didn’t have any ideas.'"
