I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address In a torn-up town No postcode envy But every song's like Gold teeth, Grey Goose, tripping in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room We don't care We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen bee And, baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy My friends and I, we've cracked the code We count our dollars on the train to the party And everyone who knows us knows That we're fine with this We didn't come from money But every song's like Gold teeth, Grey Goose, tripping in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room We don't care We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen bee And, baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed And I'm in love with being queen Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen bee And, baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy

A faixa foi composta por Lorde em parceria com o produtor Joel Little e serve como single de estreia da cantora neozelandesa, aparecendo tanto no EP The Love Club EP (2012) quanto no álbum Pure Heroine (2013).
Na Billboard Hot 100, nos Estados Unidos, a música permaneceu na primeira posição por nove semanas e recebera a certificação Diamond da RIAA, tornando-se um dos singles mais vendidos de todos os tempos.
O clipe, dirigido por Joel Kefali e lançado em 12 de maio de 2013 no YouTube da artista, apresenta adolescentes em um bairro suburbano intercalados com tomadas mínimas de Lorde.
Na edição de 2014 dos Grammy Awards, a canção conquistou os prêmios de Song of the Year e Best Pop Solo Performance, além de ter recebido o prêmio APRA Silver Scroll Award.
As letras da música criticam o estilo de vida suntuoso apresentado em canções e clipes de músicos populares, sugerindo que esses artistas se parecem com reis e rainhas modernos.
A crítica musical elogiou a composição, a produção e a performance vocal de Lorde, e a Rolling Stone incluiu a faixa em sua revisão de 2020 da lista das 500 Maiores Músicas de Todos os Tempos.
