In a cheeky parody of life in the limelight, new single A-Listers gives the highs and lows of being rich, from someone who has lived in it from the start. 

Romy Mars, 18, dropped the song and music video this week, with A-Lister's lyrics talking about how empty fame and fortune actually is. 

She croons in the first verse: "Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches, and one day I’ll be bored with everything that I’ve got.

"Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot, Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht." 

Romy knows the feeling better than most thanks to her famous family on both sides of her genetic line. 

Her mother, Sofia Coppola, is a film director best known for Lost in Translation and Virgin Suicides. 

She follows in the footsteps of her own father, the legendary Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola. 

Romy's father is French musician and Phoenix frontman, Thomas Mars, whom Sofia met on the set of the Virgin Suicides in 1999 but got together with in the late 2000's. 

The pair have been married since 2011, and have two daughters, Romy and Cosima, both of whom have picked up their creative flair. 

In the accompanying music video, Romy is seen being primped and pampered for a photoshoot, in between scenes of a runaway marriage, fighting through a crowd of paparazzi cameras, and spending a day by a pool in a mansion. 

"I love this golden sunny West Coast, sceney plastic world," she sings. "I miss being a real girl, sure, but I'm not a real girl anymore." 

After watching the video, fans commented that it reminds them of Paris Hilton's music career. 

Her launch into music comes two years after she went viral TikTok, making a vodka pasta sauce while declaring: "I'm grounded because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad's credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend." 

The video racked up millions of views before it was eventually deleted, with her parents banning the then-16-year-old from having public social media accounts. 

She's since leaned into her privileged image, releasing an EP last year titled Stuck Up.
