Super Star is S.H.E's 5th album. It was released on August 22, 2003. Ella suffered a back-injury one month before the album was released during the shooting of a television show. Because of that, Ella is not present in some of the music videos. As of 2006, the single "Super Star" from this album has been S.H.E's biggest hit. It is a common misconception that S.H.E's 2003 hit "Super Star" is a cover song. German producer Roberto "Geo" Rosan composed "Super Star" for S.H.E.[1] After it became popular, Geo had the lyrics rewritten for his Euroband, Sweetbox, as the song "Chyna Girl".

Music videos
Both "Far Away" and "River Shore Park" are based on themes of lost love; "Super Star," while dominated by a rock concert concept, contains a loose love plot where the girl is rejected, only to receive a kiss later in the video. "Heavy Rain" is a story of companion love between two parents, played by Selina and Hebe. "I.O.I.O" is a story of two girls, Selina and Hebe, fighting over a boy (Ella) who actually doesn't like either girl in the first place. The video was the first to feature S.H.E super deformed; more concrete versions were featured in S.H.E's next album, Magical Journey.
