Nouran Hassan’s ‘Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls)’ Captures Our Favorite Moments from the Iconic TV Series

Every year, as the leaves turn orange and the air gets that perfect crispness, we are transported back to Stars Hollow for another Gilmore Girls marathon. Come on, don’t deny it—we know it’s your annual tradition, too. And if it’s not? Well, consider this your official sign to start. To be honest, we watch Gilmore Girls all year round. Now, mix that cozy, timeless TV magic with a bit of music. What do you get? Nouran Hassan’s brand-new single, ‘Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls).’

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Cairo gets us. She’s wrapped everything we love—comfort, nostalgia, and a hint of quirkiness—into a song we’ll be replaying. But this isn’t just any song; it’s a love letter to the world of Gilmore Girls. It pulls us right back into the charm of Stars Hollow and reminds us why we fell in love with that unforgettable world in the first place. Inspired by her own nostalgia and the bittersweet comfort of revisiting old favorites, Nouran weaves themes of longing and familiarity into her acoustic-driven track. Speaking about the song, she shared, “In times like these, I wanted to create a sense of unity by celebrating a series that so many people love.”

To celebrate this track, we’re breaking down the standout lyrics that channel the essence of our favorite Gilmore Girls characters and moments.

*GILMORE GIRLS SPOILERS AHEAD*

“I went for a walk on the street, then I saw your house, and it cut me deep” — Luke and Lorelai vibes, anyone?

We all remember those moments when Luke was head over heels for Lorelai, even if their relationship wasn’t as steady as we hoped. Lorelai went from casually strolling to Luke’s Diner for her daily coffee fix to avoiding it entirely because of their rocky situation. That pain? Yep, it hit us hard as viewers. And somehow, Nouran captures those exact emotions right from the song’s opening lines. It’s like we’re back in Stars Hollow, watching Lorelai and Rory walk down its quaint streets on their way to Luke’s seeing. Honestly, we’re half expecting Kirk to pop out with another wacky scheme or business idea!

“I take off my jacket, pull on your old tee” — So Lorelai, it hurts.

If ever a lyric screamed Lorelai Gilmore, it’s this one. Picture it: Lorelai tossing her jacket aside (seriously, her fashion is unmatched), switching on the TV, and lounging in one of her endless collection of vintage band tees. Nouran somehow channels Lorelai’s effortless vibe into this line, and we’re fully here for it.

“Stars Hollow, I’ll follow again and again and again”

Oh, this one hit us right in the feels. Nouran totally gets the way we escape into comfort zones, and Stars Hollow is the ultimate safe haven. This lyric is so Rory Gilmore—it’s her journey in a nutshell. She grew up in Stars Hollow, and while we do see her leaving for Yale, jetting between London and New York as a journalist, but ultimately, she finds her way back home. The Year in the Life special ended with Rory sitting alongside Lorelai in the town square, proving that Stars Hollow will always be her anchor. Even during her Chilton days, every friend Rory brought home adored the town’s quirky charm.

Nouran nails that sentiment and captures how we all feel watching the TV show. Now, it’s precisely how we feel listening to this song. It’s now ‘Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls)’ by Nouran Hassan on repeat “again and again.”

“Sometimes I can’t take it no more, so I throw the keys on my flat floor” — Screams Jess energy.

This one has Jess Mariano written all over it. As certified Jess stans here at THP, we can’t help but picture him storming into Luke’s Diner, tossing his car keys on the counter, and brooding over some drama (probably involving Dean). It’s the perfect nod to Jess’ moody, introspective, and poetic persona. Nouran channels that rebellious yet heartfelt energy flawlessly, even in the midst of a heartbreak.

The music video for the song also captures this cozy, nostalgic vibe. The warm vintage filters and harmonies give that late ’90s and early 200s aesthetic we just adore. It truly takes us straight back to the charm of Stars Hollow. So, you know what to do, THP fam, stream the track and fall in love with the magic of Stars Hollow all over again.
