“Paper Crown” is a dark, cinematic country anthem about power, deception, and the fall of a false empire. Built on a driving heartbeat kick, stomps and claps, and twang-meets-noir guitars, the verses smolder with hushed warnings before a thunderous, sky-lifting chorus tears the façade apart. Low strings and moody pads add trailer-worthy tension; a searing slide-guitar line cuts through the final refrain as the crown crumples in the spotlight.

Tailor-made for country-pop, workout, and drama playlists—and primed for sync across promos, sports teasers, and prestige TV—“Paper Crown” marries goosebump lyrics with festival-scale hooks. It’s the sound of reckoning with a smile: catchy enough for radio, cinematic enough for editors and curators who want impact on first play.

Lyrics:
Hook
My baby is a Freak Like Me and she knows just what I like
she carries all the keys to the places that no-one dares to find
she won't tell nobody, what goes on within these walls
if they talked they'd probably tell you all about love 

Verse (1)
my queen got machine gun hips better duck once they go off
takes aim no intentions to miss, oh my so help us all
and its close to a flight in midst of neon lights
and my neighbors they greet me with bags under their eyes
and they know why 

Hook/Pre-Chorus
My baby is a freak like me and she knows just what I like
she carries all the keys to the places that no-one dares to find
she won't tell nobody, what goes on within these walls
if they talked they'd probably tell you all about love 

Verse (2)
oh concubine what are you made of
no resource on this earth it that soft
I swear by god you are an angel
ironic how you help me raise hell 

Bridge
I let it go, surrender control
as she takes me for a ride
hands in the air we offer our souls
it's easy when she's on my mind
