Parent Verdict

Starboy contains frequent strong profanity and explicit lyrics about sex, partying, and drug use, including references to pills and cocaine. Its darker themes of excess, heartbreak, and mortality make it better suited to older teens and adults, and parents may want to preview it or discuss its content with teens.
