Starboy — Classic Piano Sheet Music
13 people have learned this song
Read "Starboy" by The Weeknd in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 82 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a three-chord loop — Am, F, and G — that repeats throughout, so once your hands know the pattern, you essentially know the whole song.
Your left hand plays block bass notes, which means you're landing one solid note per chord change rather than juggling a busy pattern, so focus on making those bass notes firm and evenly timed at 82 BPM.
Your right hand handles the chord shapes: Am and G sit naturally under your fingers, but watch the move to F, where you'll want to shift smoothly without a gap in the sound.
Practice that Am-to-F transition slowly, hands separately at first, until it feels automatic.
Once it's comfortable, bring both hands together and loop just the first four bars until the groove locks in.
A common stumble is rushing the G chord because it feels like a turnaround — resist that, keep it steady, and let the rhythm do the work.
This is the song that'll make three-chord progressions feel like second nature in your hands.

About “Starboy”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Starboy"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Starboy" by The Weeknd played in?
- Starboy is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Starboy"?
- The arrangement plays at 82 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Starboy" easy to play on piano?
- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
- Can I download sheet music for "Starboy"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Starboy"?

- Try "DIE FOR YOU", "CALL OUT MY NAME", "EARNED IT". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Starboy" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 82 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
