"Moviestar" got its start as an online teaser: in 2003 the Welsh band posted a demo in a corner of their official website called The Place, where a text message costing £1 bought you a code to download the MP3. Enough fans bit that the song was properly mastered and finished, and V2 put it out on CD and DVD on 9 February 2004.
It was the first Stereophonics single after drummer Stuart Cable was sacked, and it was later tacked onto reissues of their fourth album, You Gotta Go There to Come Back, from 2003, making it that record's fourth and final single. It went to number five in the UK, 26 in Ireland and 85 on the Dutch Top 100.
