Dreamy – “Some Stars Aren’t Meant to Shine” | Looking for feedback on my new dream pop son

When I was writing this song, the title actually came before the lyrics.
“Some Stars Aren’t Meant to Shine” wasn’t meant to say that some people simply aren’t enough.
For me, it’s about how easily we measure ourselves against other people, even though we’re not meant to shine in the same way. We compare ourselves to someone else’s path and wonder why we’re falling behind, when maybe we’re just built for something completely different.
That feeling became this song.
I’m curious—before hearing it, what does the title Some Stars Aren’t Meant to Shine make you think of?

P.S. This is only the second track I’ve mixed and mastered myself, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback on the production. Does it sound polished to you, or does it still feel a bit raw? I’m trying to learn with every release.
