King (Lauren Aquilina)

King by Lauren Aquilina is a song used in Siblings In Action.
== Song Info ==
This song was released by Lauren Aquilina, a Maltese-English singer, in 2012, in her debut album Fools.
== Uses In-universe ==
In the episode You Can Be Queen Again, this song plays multiple times. The first time is when Flora comes home after having a panic attack at school; they blast it through their headphones (the AMV version) to calm down, as two of their coping mechanisms are listening to music and watching anime. Later, Annie sings this as she makes lunch for her and her cousin Penny just before Penny leaves for work. Penny and Ellie later sing it for fun at the station, with the boys joining in at the end. Penny sings it to Flora to soothe them when they come to her for comfort.
In later episodes, one or more of the Lion Guard cast members sings this when the group gets bored, as this group has a tendency to break out into songs randomly. Nala even joined in at one point.
This song is used in the episode "The (Voting) Time is Now!" when Flora wins the title of Homecoming Princess and everyone rushes to support them. Notably, this is one of the few moments where Flora's not uncomfortable with people crowding around them. A variation is sung in the background by the cast when Flora is crowned Homecoming Queen in "Royal Reveal! Who's the King and Queen?!"
This song will later be used in the 5-year finale anniversary special.
== Uses Out-of-universe ==
The song is probably most well-known for a variation being featured in a Hotarubi no Mori e AMV (animated music video) from 2013. In this video, the story of Hotarubi no Mori e (Into the Forest of Fireflies Light) (in which a girl meets a mysterious boy with a curse in the forest) is shown, with the song playing in the background.
== Lyrics ==
You're alone, you're on your own, so what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
You don't get what all this is about
You're too wrapped up in your self doubt
You've got that young blood, set it free
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king
There's method in my madness
There's no logic in your sadness
You don't gain a single thing from misery
Take it from me
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
