 "Royals" was released in 2012 and
rereleased as a single in 2013. When
Loardewas 15 years old, she wrote
this song in just only 30 minutes.
 Royals is all about what is
considered the "good life," filled
with riches and fame, but not
everyone can live that life, and so
the average person is desperately
reaching...
Unique voice
 The lyrics of this song just make me feel the characteristics of the
young adult, they wish to own the things that they didn’t have
which is wealth and fame. However, they knew the real situation
of themselves so they just leave all of this in the imagination.

In teen years, not about teen years
“And we'll never be royals. It don't run in our blood” which shows
the ways of thinking by the Young Adults. They always want to be
the best one who admire by the person surround them, but the
fact is most of them just can live a simple life. Therefore, they just
can only jealous about anything that belongs to others.

being queen
Life is great without a care
