Background

edit

A demo version of the song was released online in 2003 via the band's official website in a section called "The Place", where people would send a mobile phone text message (costing £1) to receive an access code to download the song in MP3 format.[citation needed] Due to high popularity and demand, the song was then fully mastered and finalized and released as a CD and DVD single on 9 February 2004.[1] "Moviestar" was then included on a re-issue of the band's 2003 album, You Gotta Go There to Come Back.[2]
