What song did I hear?

I heard this song a few days ago, in a noisy area where I couldn't hear perfectly, but it sounded great and I want to know what it was. The words were something like, something something but "you'll never be a rock star."
It was peppy and upbeat. Men singing, I think. There were maybe some oo-wee-oo-wee-oo kinds of vocal lines in between choruses. It was NOT "Call" by Margot MacDonald. Help me find this good song, please.

Not quite the right fit for the line you remember, but hits some of your points, so just in case, check out Rockstar by Pink. It has lines about Rockstars and lines about 'na-na-na-na-na'. It is definitely peppy and up-beat.

There are a lot of songs about rock stars. Can you tell us more about this song?
What genre would you say it was? If you had to guess, do you think it's a modern song, or something from a previous decade? Could you tell anything about what instruments were being played?

Was it this? It has the same line except for the personal pronoun.

Kind of a long shot, but maybe Streaming Services by Taylor Bennett?

Tune-Yards Gangsta?
First lyrics refer to gangsta, but then it shifts to rockstar.
