The opening track from YUNGBLUD’s self-titled EP is an upbeat societal critique that gets its name from the late King Charles I of England (1600-1649), a monarch over England, Scotland and Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649.

King Charles is often viewed as a tyrant due to his belief that he could govern according to his own conscience and no other sources. Many of his subjects disagreed with his policies, particularly his levying of taxes without consent from parliament.

The song uses King Charles as an expy for modern world leaders who act neglectful towards their citizens, especially those on the younger side of the age pyramid, and are more concerned with taxing them rather than actually governing.

The track features YUNGBLUD’s signature pop-punk vocals as well as his ironic and rebellious lyrics over an upbeat guitar production.
