"Part of Me" is a song by New Zealand band Stellar*, released as the second single from their debut album, Mix (1999), in April 1999. This song was the group's first top 10 single on New Zealand's RIANZ Singles Chart, spending two weeks at four before dropping out of the top 10. The single includes two B-sides: "Sorry" and "Trepanning (Out with the Sun)".

## Background

[edit]

Stellar* have said that "Part of Me" is their favourite track on Mix despite the fact it was the album's only track not mixed at a professional studio. On 16 June 199, Christchurch Star writer Chris Mooar gave the song a five-star review, praising the composition and Boh Runga's vocals while calling it "pop music at its most intelligent".[1]
