Background

Stellar* have said that "Part of Me" is their favourite track on Mix despite the fact it was the album's only track not mixed at a professional studio. On 16 June 199, Christchurch Star writer Chris Mooar gave the song a five-star review, praising the composition and Boh Runga's vocals while calling it "pop music at its most intelligent".^[1]
