The Making Of A Song – ‘King of My Heart’

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa, oh






And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa, oh






I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own...






The one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

Body and soul, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh






And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart

13 Days Later




The whole verse?






Yeah






I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own

I made up my mind, I'm better off bein' alone

We met a few weeks ago

Now you try on callin' me baby, like tryin' on clothes






(Improvisation that became the pre-chorus)






Ooh! Love that!






Does it bother you that I'm going, um, uh, "you try on calling me baby like trying on c - -ute to me like the American
?" Can we have it be, like, like, lots of vocals, like, um, like lots of people singing the pre, so they can start saying "sa-lute to me like a-" 'cause I need "salute." '
Cause I like that lyric






Like trying on clothes, salute to me like the American dream






Salute to me, I'm your American queen

And you move to me like a Motown beat

And we rule the kingdom inside my room






And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa, oh






You told us that you want a drop chorus






Yeah






That first half, maybe drop






But with the vocoder stuff






Yeah






Is there a way we can get to "clothes" faster?






"Trying on clothes"






"You try on calling me baby like tryin' on clothes, salute to me like the American - "






"Trying on clothes"






"Tryin' on clothes"






"Tryin' on clothes"






"Tryin' on clothes, salute to me like - " Okay. "You try on calling me baby like tryin' on clothes, salute to me like the American dream," okay














Lower







chord






"- On calling me baby like tryin' on clothes"






Salute to me, I'm your American Queen

And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat

And we rule the kingdom inside my room

And all the boys with their expensive cars

And their Range Rovers and their Jaguars

Never took me quite where you do






I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own

I made up my mind, I'm better off bein' alone

We met a few weeks ago

Now you try on callin' me baby, like tryin' on clothes

Salute to me, I'm your American Queen

And you -






- own

I made up my mind, I'm better off bein' alone

We met a few weeks ago

Now you try on callin' me baby, like tryin' on clothes

Salute to me, I'm your American Queen

And you -






Ahh!




One, two!






And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa






I have been waiting, waiting

Body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once

1 Day Later




Is the end of all the endings?

My broken bones are mending

With all these nights we're spending

Up on your roof with a school girl crush

Drinking beer out of plastic cups

Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff

All at once, this is enough






And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

The Next Day




"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep"

"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep"

Yeah, thanks!

Hanging out with you guys is enough, I'm starting to do weird melody, weird harmonies

"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep"

"Your love is, your love is," okay

"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep"
