Lyrics[]
I can't help it if I make a scene, Stepping out of my hot pink limousine. I'm turning heads, and I'm stopping traffic, When I pose, they scream, and when I joke, they laugh. I've got a pair of eyes that they're getting lost in, They're hypnotized by the way I'm walking, I've got them dazzled like a stage magician, When I point, they look, and when I talk, they listen, well, Everybody needs a friend, And I've got you and you and you So many, I can't even name them, Can you blame me? I'm too famous. Haven't you noticed that I'm a star? I'm coming into view as the world is turning. Haven't you noticed I've made it this far? Now, everyone can see me burning. (x3) |

Trivia[]
- The style of the song is similar to the song "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus.
- This is Sadie's first musical number in the series.
- Steven sings the song in Sadie's place at Beach-a-Palooza.
- "Haven't You Noticed (I'm a Star)" is the song's official name, as revealed in the credits.
- The lyrics change slightly between Olivia Olson's original recording and the version sung by Sadie and Steven:
- "I hypnotize by the way I'm walking", (Olivia Olson)
- "They're hypnotized by my way of walking", (Sadie and Steven)
- Olivia Olson is also the voice of Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time, the series Rebecca Sugar worked on before creating Steven Universe.
- The entire song references Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz. A couple of examples of this include:
- "I can't help if I make a scene" may reference how she pleaded Pearl to shapeshift into Rose Quartz and stage her shattering.
- "Stepping out of my hot pink limousine" references Pink stepping out of her palanquin moments before her supposed shattering.
- "When I pose, they scream" references how much shock Homeworld Gems were in following the onset of Era 2.
- "I've got them dazzled like a stage magician" references how nobody suspected Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond for thousands of years, up until the events of "Bubbled" ("That's more of a pinkish-red than a real Rose Quartz reddish-pink.") and "The Trial".
