“Conqueror” is the second single off of Estelle’s fourth studio album True Romance (2015).
The song is a message of triumph and a testament to Estelle believing in herself when no one else would. In an interview for VH1 she said:

[Verse 1]
Life is like a big merry-go-round, you're up and then down
Goin' in circles tryna get to where you are
Everybody's been cutting you out, where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place, just faces in the crowd
We all make mistakes, you might fall on your face
But you gotta get up
[Chorus]
I'd rather stand tall, than live on my knees
Cause I'm a conqueror and I won't accept defeat
Try telling me no, one thing about me
Is I am a conqueror, I am a conqueror
[Verse 2]
Got a vision that no one else sees
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves
Remember there's a war out there
So come prepared to fight
You never know where the road leads you
Not everyone's gonna believe you
Even though they're wrong, don't prove them right
[Chorus]
I'd rather stand tall, than live on my knees
Cause I'm a conqueror and I won't accept defeat
Try telling me no, one thing about me
Is I am a conqueror, I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror
[Bridge]
We all make mistakes, you might fall on your face
But you gotta get up
We all make mistakes, you might fall on your face
Don't ever give up
[Chorus]
I'd rather stand tall, than live on my knees
Cause I'm a conqueror and I won't accept defeat
Try telling me no, one thing about me
Is I am a conqueror, I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror
[Outro]
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But I am a conqueror
