Starchild taps directly into that electric innocence in his new single, "PG-13," an indie pop-reggae bop that feels like passing notes in class, then blushing when she reads them. The performance is Starchild through a wink and a set of pearly whites, suave and cheeky but never straining. It's a love song, but not a heavy and dramatic love song. This one's for sunny drives, spontaneous dance parties, and when you catch yourself smiling at a text.
"PG-13″ stands apart because of its infectious hooks or sleek production and the heart behind it. Based on "The Cutest Girl I've Ever Seen," Starchild doesn't mince words in the message. Instead, he embraces the butterflies, the blushes, and the awkward sweetness of falling for someone who makes you feel, in the best sense, like you're 13 again. That honesty bounces through with every syllable, and you can't help but smile when you listen.
"PG-13" opens on sun-soaked guitar riffs and an airy groove that would put even the shiest wallflower inside a slow spin on the dance floor. It's got that breezy, feel-good aura to it that makes it feel like an instant classic, like your favorite childhood memory of a song by way of ponytail pop. The reggae undercurrent keeps things low-key, but those indie-pop melodies provide a contemporary, radio-friendly sheen.
"PG-13" is the kind of song that sneaks into your head and plants itself there, not in an irritating way but in the manner of a welcome reminder that some feelings never honestly go out of style. It's thoughtful without succumbing to datedness, fresh without reaching for trends. Amid an ocean of overpolished pop and gloomy overthinking, Starchild offers something simpler and sweeter: the perfectly preserved sound of a crush. In "PG-13," Starchild demonstrates that you don't have to have a blockbuster budget to make a hit; you only need a bit of reggae rhythm, some indie charm, and a story that makes you smile.
