"StarRingChild" is the sixth single by Japanese singer Aimer, released on May 21, 2014 under Defstar Records. Written by Hiroyuki Sawano, the song was used as the theme song of episode 7 of the mecha anime OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn and the ending theme of episode 22 of the OVA's TV edit version Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096. The single peaked at No. 3 on Oricon's singles charts and No. 17 on Billboard Japan's Hot 100.[1][2]
In an interview, Aimer said the song is about one's struggle from childhood to maturity. Prior to recording the song, she watched previous Gundam titles to fully understand the world of the franchise.[1]
The song was written in English by cAnON. and re-recorded by Aimer in the 2014 SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Aimer collaboration album UnChild.[3]
