Much of M83's music is inspired by 80s synth-pop and John Hughes' films.
From the initial "doop, doop, doop, doops", I knew "Steve McQueen" was going to be a spiritual song.
The song's instant euphoria is equally matched by a super imaginative video, starring a 'Young Sheldon' boy with special powers.

The chorus "there's a magic inside, just waiting to burst out" while the toy animals fly by in unison is super nostalgic, and perfectly recalls the magic of childhood.
The lyrics are an homage to Steve McQueen's carefree attitude in his years leading up to his battle with terminal cancer.
