“Shooting Stars” is a song about a relationship that is hard to keep as it goes too fast. Australian electro duo Bag Raiders released this track in 2010, and it became a minor hit in Australia, peaking at 62 on the ARIA charts.

The music video is strange to say the least, with two normal humans living in a low-poly city that go to a club before the city crumbles as they fly away on cars.

Sometime in January 2017, the song re-emerged into popular culture following a viral video of an overweight man diving featuring “Shooting Stars”. The song’s natural vapor-wave aesthetic and the success of the original viral video lead to a new viral meme format popular with ironic meme and vapor-wave communities.
