Queendom

This pulsing song was released as the lead single from Aurora's second album. "I think it represents a really important message," the singer told NME. "My new album has a wider perspective than I had on my first one. The world has a lot of good and bad in it, but as I say in the first verse of 'Queendom', 'the underdogs are my lions, the silent ones are choir – the women will be my soldiers, the weight of life on their shoulders'." "But it's also for men, the planets and everything," Aurora added. "It's a very important start of my new chapter."

Aurora explained the song is a celebration of all the differences in us. "It’s about celebrating the women and the children and animals and the men also," she said. "The quiet ones and the introverts, where they can sing and be seen. It’s about the shy people and the lonely people and I hope it can be a place where we can come and be lonely together and then not be lonely anymore. Queendom is a place for all of us."

The song originated from a conversation Aurora was having with her friends about the change that they wanted to see in the world. The Norwegian told NME they talked about what they would change if they were some kind of god. The term "Queendom" came up, and inspired by their discussion, Aurora wrote this song about all the things she would change and that she is passionate about - "introverts, underdogs and the people who are not getting the respect that they deserve." Basically, she was thinking about the people who don't get heard and are as a result seen as "weaker."
