In this song, Sabina uses royalty terms, like “kingdom”, “empire” and “battlefield” as a metaphor for her attempt to create a relationship that’s based on loyalty and partnership. She talks about how she’s willing to go through all of the ups and downs of this relationship to make it work
[Verse 1]
This time, face the music
Let's put the walls and all our guards up
We can't afford to lose it
There's way too much at stake to crush this kingdom
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll face this battlefield for you
I'll face this battlefield
We're young but we hold the crown, your crown won't fall down
[Chorus]
Your love is royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now
Treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king
If you treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king now
Royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now yeah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
[Verse 2]
I'll treasure you like a diamond
Just honour and protect my heart now
And no matter what we go through
We're back to back until the empire falls down
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll face this battlefield for you
I'll face this battlefield
We're young but we hold the crown, your crown won't fall down
[Chorus]
Your love is royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now
Treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king
If you treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king now
Royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now yeah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
[Bridge]
I'm everything, I'm everything, I'm everything you've got
You're everything, you're everything, you're everything I'm not
I'm everything, I'm everything, I'm everything you've got
You're everything, you're everything
[Chorus]
Your love is royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now
Treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king
If you treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king now
Royal, royal now
So I've been loyal, loyal now yeah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh ah
