Songfacts®:

  • This was the last song that Lindsey Sirling wrote for her self-titled debut album. She recalled to Artist Direct: "I was down to the wire, and I really wanted to have twelve songs. What's interesting about this album, and I see this as I'm working on the new album, you create lots of ideas, and then you pick the best. For this last album, I literally created twelve songs. That's all I had, and they all ended up on the final tracklisting."

    "It's miraculous if you think about it. I ended up liking every single song. I used everything I had," Stirling continued. "'Stars Align' came at the last minute. At the last minute, I found a producer I liked. I met with him and within four days we created this song. That's why I called it 'Stars Align,' because at the time I thought, 'A miracle has to happen if I'm going to have another song in five days.' I felt like the stars aligned for me to finish the record. That's why there are twelve and it's called 'Stars Align.'"
