The Track Star Music Video
On April 7th, 2021, Mooski released the official music video for his global hit Track Star. The music video now counts over 10 million views in only 3 weeks. It features Nija Charles, an American three-time Grammy-winning songwriter and producer, and the rising star, singer Coi Leray, both of who have no singing roles in this project.
In the music video, Coi Leray plays the rapper’s on-and-off girlfriend. The video shows them meeting at a party and they immediately hit it off, but shortly after Mooski realizes that she has a habit of running away. She is not a girl who is ready to commit to a steady relationship, so he finds a new lover played by Nija Charles. Once Leray’s character sees the two of them, she decides to run away again, further proving everything that Mooski raps about in Track Star.
The song’s success is even more fascinating considering the fact that the rapper wrote the global hit while playing the instrumental in his car. Mooski served in the Marine Corps for four years and, after reaching the rank of sergeant, he decided to follow his love for music. He showed his fans and everyone who listens to his story that we all have a chance of succeeding. Him sitting in his car listening to the instrumental of his song led him to becoming a new worldwide sensation and, one day, that could be you, too.
She Leaves When Times are Rough
In his viral hit, Track Star, Mooski compares his lover to a track runner because she never seems to stop running away from him when things get hard. At the beginning of the chorus, he says:
She’s a runner, she’s a track star
She gon’ run away when it gets hard
She can’t take the pain, she can’t get scarred
She hurt anyone that gets involvеd
Don’t wanna commit, why take it this far
His lover is there only for the pretty sides of the relationship. Once the problem arises, her only way to deal with the issue at hand is to run away from it. Judging by this line, it seems as if she is doing everything she can not to end up hurt. In the process of saving herself and her own feelings, she ends up hurting everyone else involved, but it doesn’t seem to faze her. Mooski’s lover can’t commit to a serious relationship and it seems as if the only thing she’s in love with is her freedom.
Leave a trail of heartbreak and heartache like its cool (Ooh)
I guess way too late is convenient for you (Ooh)
The dirt you left don’t turn into dust, it don’t move (Ooh)
It’s here waiting for you
This girl doesn’t care about hurting other people and the rapper is definitely not the first one who got hurt by her actions. The dirt you left don’t turn into dust
is a beautifully written line in which Mooski uses images of dirt and dust as a metaphor for the problems she’s running away from. He’s telling her that all her problems will still be waiting for her where she left them and that they won’t turn into dust that wind could simply blow away.
Giving His All to a Track Star
Put you first, showed you your worth
Gave you whatever you desire, gave you whatever you desire
Although this is an upbeat song that makes people want to dance, the lyrics show how this girl’s actions deeply hurt the rapper. She was someone he cared for and he truly believed he could give his all for this relationship. She proved him wrong, however, leaving him hurt and regretting falling so deeply for someone who doesn’t care.
Heart broken into pieces put tape on it
Fragile made out of glass, close the drapes on it
Trust issues so deep playing safe on it
Will I ever love again or will I stay lonely?
These four lines perfectly depict how much this girl’s actions hurt Mooski. She broke his heart so many times and he is unsure if he will ever be able to love again. Everything she has done gave the rapper trust issues that won’t allow him to give himself to another person again. He wonders if he will ever be able to trust and love again, or are his trust issues so deep that he won’t allow himself to open up to another person again.
Track Star perfectly depicts how someone else’s actions can impact us and the way we see love. It teaches us that there are people who won’t care about anything but their own feelings, no matter how much love and attention you give them. Mooski created a song personal to a huge part of his audience while talking about his own experience, making it a universal song and a huge worldwide hit.
