"Shining Star" is a song by Australian rock band INXS, released on 21 October 1991 as the only single issued from the band's first live album, Live Baby Live (1991). It was produced by Mark Opitz and was the one new studio track recorded for the album. Upon the song's release, it peaked at No. 21 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, No. 27 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's ninth top-40 single in the latter country. In the United States, it peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 14 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
The studio recording features backing vocals by Keith Urban and Stuart McKie.[citation needed] Urban was yet to release his own first album, and was not yet well known to the public, but was invited to the studio by Kirk Pengilly to join in the recording.[1]

Four live tracks were released as B-sides: "I Send a Message" (from Wembley, London 1991), "Faith in Each Other" (from London or Sydney 1990), and "Bitter Tears" (from Paris).
