Lyrics:
[Produced by Joel Little]
[Video by Joel Kefali]
[Verse 1]
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no postcode envy
[Pre-Chorus]
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care; we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tiger's on a gold leash
We don't care; we aren't caught up in your love affair
[Chorus]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
[Verse 2]
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
[Pre-Chorus]
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care; we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tiger's on a gold leash
We don't care; we aren't caught up in your love affair
[Chorus]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh-oh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
(Oh, oh-oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
[Chorus]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy - Hudba

Lets be honest
This song owned the world for a while
Nope
My dad play this in his radio all day when I first came to canada
I just heard that song.
MENOL MALFOY I mean the song is 7 years old, how can you JUST hear it???
This song completely changed Pop
Remember when this song was all over the radio?
ItsJustKayla was yeas
Yeah, it was during a shitty period in my life and before I finished school. I still find myself looking back with rose tinted glasses regardless, for some reason.
Jackuin lol
Yooo it was everywhere
Yea
WHY IS THIS SO STRANGELY NOSTALGIC?! ITS NOSTALGIC BUT ALSO SCARY
dude i thought im tripping ...
The message
this music video changed my life. i remember watching it on the music channel on the tv when i was younger
Mind to share how did it change your life?

Her at 16: writes one of the best songs
Me at 16: “can you die from eating too many chicken nuggets?”
Everyone's important💜
HA wow you are so hilarious and quirky
I'm surprised that didn't happen when I was 10 (I'm 17 now)
And she wrote it in 20 min or some crazy shit
@Andromeda Vieira she was 16
Stop asking who's still listening, we never stop listening.
Lorde, when this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and in jail. Now I have a good job, a husband, and I’m healthy. This song and “Clover Cage - Miraculous” are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know that things will get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤
A 16 year old dropped this? Bruh that’s a whole lot of talent
16 likes 😂
Marvelous George werd!
She was 16?????!!!! Wow that’s real talent 😁😁😁

PURRR
Every time I watch that one South Park episode of Randy being Lorde I come back here to listen to this masterpiece
This song generates a feeling that doesn't exist
Iñaki Yoooo I thought I was the only one who was feeling like this!!
Yesssssssss
real
The song creates a sad feeling but the lyrics are so understandable and the beat is great. It’s like this perfect balance which causes this emotion I didn’t even know existed
@@johnappleseed2308 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Man I happy to know that I am not the only one who was feeling that
whenever she comes back, we'll be waiting.
Me too I can’t wait
Still waiting in 2021
Randy Marshall will never come back as Lorde
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness ❤️
I dont get it where'd she go?
Life was so different when this came out..I wish that one day Lorde listens to my music and we make a hit song together. God bless everyone going through it like me. Better days are coming....🍀
Nostalgic,take me back life sucks now.😢
*A U T H E N T I C v i e w s* and Lorde the duo making virals
yeah, go figure 👽🙃
Her at 16: Already 45 and a genius of a geologist.
Me at 16: trying to build a house in minecraft without dirt.
Yes
Best comment ever
It be like that though😂😂
😂😂
dude she is not a Genius geologist.. she at best average ...otherwise she wouldn't work in colorado.for such a young age though... yea she is good
The only song that didn’t bother me when it was played 645 times a day on the radio
True.
Yeah lol
Faxx my guy
in your face Adele!
It was ring tone for 2 yrs
...!!
This song is really good, and what makes it even better is the fact that it was composed and recorded during Randy's bahtroom breaks.
AND WE’LL NEVER BE ROYALS🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I can’t FUCKING believe this song came out 7 years ago
I feel so old lmao

Who could ever forget about this song. I was tripping a lot trying to memorize all the lyrics because it was a lot to handle. Lorde is one of the lords of songwriting, and she's surely living up to her name.

Love this version. What a beautiful voice. Clean, right rythem. I heard different version. This one, this cute perfect. I could tell right away.
Just think. She was 16 when this released
Just found that out a couple days ago she’s the same age as me . I didn’t think she was my age when I heard this song back in 10th grade.
The Wind Spirit wait, so I’m looking at a 16 year old rn? She looks 20 here
She looks so much older like she is in her mid twenties because most people don’t have there glow-ups at 16.
well, Billie Elish was 15 when she released her first song....... I think teens singing is normal.....
@@aivee6817 - Yes. Teens singing is normal. It's just that this Lorde album was just fantastic which isn't normal for teens. That affected her second album which is not as good therefore didn't get as much attention.

Hey Lorde fans! I have just released my debut album CRASTI LAND a few weeks ago. I am a big Lorde fan myself, her minimal electronic music (especially during her first years) really inspired me and a couple of songs on the album, so I thought I'd share the news with other fans. Kindly and respectfully, I would appreciate every single listen & review! Have a powerful day!
Any people listening in May 2024?
Yeaa
I'm here
That fact that she was 16 years old when she wrote this is almost insane ...........#REALARTIST
I think randy was 45 when he made this

Shes actually a 45 year old geologist from Colorado.
@R1vEn what your kidding 16 so that means she is 23 right now

Let me live that fantasy!!! This song will never get old
the lorde works in mysterious ways, love her beautiful music well done well done lorde!!!
I remember when the comment section was full of fans instead of it being a calendar.
That would be when the gideo was newly uploaded. Now that its its been 6years actual comments is kinda late.
I really miss that.
I actually get the joke 😂😂😂😂plz don't kill me I'm afraid I won't make it to 3020 alive
I miss the "I am lorde ya ya ya" ones
Wilson Sc.Jordan the comments were never good lmao.
Fun Fact:
Lorde was only 16 here and when "Royals" came out, she also became the youngest female artist to be on Billboard 100 since Tiffany- "I Think We're Alone Now" 1987.
No she is not, Lorde is not actually a 17 year old pop star from New Zealand, she's a 45 year old geologist from Colorado! That's not all, she's a 45 year old MALE geologist from Colorado.

she's basically pioneer for slower tempo pop
ribs also makes me feel like im in an indie short film where im the main character
lorde shook the whole scene up
Imagine reshaping the pop landscape at only 16
