"'''Stargirl Interlude'''" is a song by Canadian singer [[the Weeknd]] featuring American singer [[Lana Del Rey]]. Dubbed as an "interlude", the track comes from the Weeknd's third studio album, ''[[Starboy (album)|Starboy]]'' (2016). The track's title itself is a direct reference to the album's titular character, Starboy, with the lyrics focusing in on a female counterpart, similarly named Stargirl. The song was written by [[Abel Tesfaye]], [[Doc McKinney|Martin McKinney]], [[Lana Del Rey]], and [[Timothy McKenzie]], with production being handled by McKinney and [[Labrinth]]. It is the third of the four collaborations between the two artists, being followed by the [[Lust for Life (Lana Del Rey song)|title track]] from Lana Del Rey's fifth studio album ''[[Lust for Life (Lana Del Rey album)|Lust for Life]]'' (2017).<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/04/lana-del-rey-and-the-weeknd-reunite-on-lust-for-life-listen/|title=Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd reunite on "Lust For Life" — listen|magazine=[[Consequence of Sound]]|first=Sarah|last=Davis|date=April 19, 2017|access-date=September 1, 2019}}</ref>
