What is “Crown” about?
"Crown" is a declaration of self-made royalty that opens by refusing to bow down. The lyrics describe a group that others tried to break, one that turned every scar into a stepping stone and built its standing "from the underground" without anyone's permission. Near the end, each member takes a line of her own as Yuna, Hana, Sora, Mina and Jia are named in turn. Placed twelfth on GLITCH, it hands off to the love songs "Heartbeat" and "Frequency."
Crown lyrics
Bow down? Nah
We wear our own crown
Walked in the room and the whole vibe shifted
Head up high 'cause we came here gifted
They tried to break us, couldn't even scratch it
Diamond-coated, baby, we're fantastic
Every scar became a stepping stone
Built a throne from everything we've known
We don't need permission (No!)
We don't need the fame (No!)
All we need's each other
Now remember the name
Crown, crown, we wear the crown
Nobody gonna bring us down
Crown, crown, we hold it now
Queens of the city, take a bow
We built it up from the underground
Crown, crown, we wear the crown
Shine so bright, can't dim us out
Crown!
Five girls deep and we run this story
Every chapter dripping with the glory
Wrote the rules, then we broke them all
Standing tall even when they want us small
Mirror says we're golden, that's the truth
Unbreakable, unstoppable, the proof
We don't need your permission (No!)
We don't need your stage (No!)
All we need's the music
Now turn another page
Crown, crown, we wear the crown
Nobody gonna bring us down
Crown, crown, we hold it now
Queens of the city, take a bow
We built it up from the underground
Crown, crown, we wear the crown
Shine so bright, can't dim us out
Crown!
(Yuna!) I lead the way
(Hana!) I move, they sway
(Sora!) I spit the fire
(Mina!) I take it higher
(Jia!) I steal the show
Together? We run the whole globe!
Crown, crown, we wear the crown
Nobody gonna bring us down
Crown, crown, we own it now
Five queens standing, take a bow
Crown!
(That's Prism Five, baby)
(Bow down!)
