Background and composition

[edit]

"King Ruby" is the third single to be released by Ider, after "Sorry" and "Pulse" earlier in 2016. Ider released this single themselves as they didn't first sign with a record label until the following year.

The song was inspired by a friend of the duo, Ruby, who had been involved in an accident in India and undertook a large recovery.[1][3]

Critical reception

[edit]

Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Andrew Hannah says that "[…] "King Ruby" as a whole is just superb. This is the sound of a band already well into their stride and racing ahead of the competition."[1]
