Lucky Star (Madonna song)

Common card · No. 228486

"Lucky Star" is a song by American singer Madonna from her 1983 self-titled debut album. Written by Madonna and produced by Reggie Lucas, it was later remixed by John "Jellybean" Benitez after creative differences arose between the singer and Lucas during the recording sessions. A medium-paced dance-pop song, its lyrics compare a lover to a guiding star through celestial imagery and a refrain adapted from the nursery rhyme "Star Light, Star Bright".
