"Stargazing" is a song by British singer-songwriter Myles Smith. It was released as the lead single from his second extended play A Minute... on 10 May 2024 through Sony Music. Smith wrote it with songwriter Jesse Fink and its producer, Peter Fenn.
Critics praised the song for its soulful melody and catchy rhythm. In the United States, the song peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Smith’s first song to reach the top 40; it was also his first number 1 on the Pop Airplay chart. The song also reached the top ten in various countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, Germany, and Austria.
"Stargazing" was born from a collaborative songwriting session in Malibu, California, shortly after he signed with RCA Records, with the aim to create "something that's really warm, fun, and happy". The song's hook came to him almost instantly, inspired by the idea of loved ones being present in one's life, even in ways they do not always realise.
