The category was introduced in 1997, at the 4th Star Awards ceremony; Sebastian Tan received the award for his theme song, 《和平的代价》 in The Price of Peace and it is given in honour of a theme song in a Mediacorp drama serial which has delivered an outstanding overall performance. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp. Prior to 2014, winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel. This rule was amended from 2014 onwards such that winners are selected by a majority vote from both the entire judging panel and the public via online voting.
Since its inception, the award has been given to 14 performers or performer groups. Kenny Khoo & Desmond Ng were the most recent winners in this category for their theme song, 《以刚克刚》 in When Duty Calls. Power Station, Kelvin Tan & Kit Chan remain as the only three performers or performer groups to win in this category thrice. In addition, Fann Wong had been nominated on five occasions, more than any other performer or performer group. Wong also hold the record for the most nominations without a win.
