True Star: A Private Performance is a two-track extended play (EP) by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé. Produced by herself and Tommy Hilfiger, it was released exclusively in 2004, solely available with limited edition purchases of her fragrance by Hilfiger entitled True Star. The EP's packaging consists of a fold-out digipak picture sleeve, including advertisement for the perfume and a built in picture booklet with lyrics for "Wishing on a Star". The EP was only released as a five-inch CD single, usually included with the purchase of the preceding EP's perfume.

The EP consists of two tracks. "Wishing on a Star" was originally covered by Beyoncé Knowles in 2004, for the live album Live at Wembley. The song was than used to promote the Tommy Hilfiger fragrance. In 2005, the song was included on the soundtrack of the movie Roll Bounce. At the 48th Grammy Awards (2006), Knowles' version was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Knowles released the song as a promotional single on August 17, 2010. The song that appears on the EP was credited originally from Live at Wembley.

The song "Naïve", which is a duet between Solange Knowles and Beyoncé, featuring Da Brat, was included on Solange Knowles' debut studio album Solo Star (2002) as the twenty-first track, tentatively untitled.
