Jung first performed "You, My Star" at the SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 21, 2014.[4] It was digitally released two days later, with full proceeds going towards FNC Entertainment's charity Love FNC.[1] It was later included as a hidden track on his debut solo album One Fine Day (2015).[2] Jung also performed the song with Min-ah of Girl's Day on the January 25, 2015 broadcast of Seoul Broadcasting System's (SBS) music program Inkigayo for its 800th episode.[5] A music video for the song was uploaded on February 26; Jung dedicated it to his fans.[6] He went on to perform the song at 15th annual Top Chinese Music Awards.[7]
Writing for Idology as 'Mimyo', musician Moon Yong-min noted that the song "progresses neatly with a refreshing rhythm", pointing out that the "organization of drums and the guitar gently varies over the progression of each section". Citing the difference between CNBLUE's music, he expressed that "showing a sense of maturity with this kind of relaxed and refreshingly moderate song is not a bad idea".[8]
