Parent Verdict

Starboy is an explicit R&B and pop album with frequent profanity and sexual references throughout. Its songs also reference drug use, including codeine and pills, and explore dark themes like excess, heartbreak, and death. It is better suited to older teens and adults, and parents may want to review the lyrics before letting younger children listen.
