"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.

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]
