Hi, I'm King Princess, and I'm gonna play
a game of song association with Elle.
I'll be given a word, and I'll have 10 seconds
to either sing or rap that word in a song.
I don't think I'm gonna do well at this.
This is not something I feel that I,
maybe, I don't know, I don't know.
Why am I doing that?
I could do well.
I can do well at things.
But before we get into this game,
be sure to check out my album, "Hold On Baby,"
which is out, and
go buy a ticket to my tour, the "Hold On Baby" Tour.
(whimsical music) (King makes nonsense sounds)

One time I was at a family function,
and my family is obviously, you know,
like, they're from upstate New York and they're all,
I'm the youngest, and I was a little kid,
and they were, like, talking about JT, JT, JT.
And I'm like,
like, yeah, JT, and they're like, how do you know who JT is?
Who do you think JT is?
And I was like, Justin Timberlake.
And they were like, we're talking about James Taylor.
And I was like, I had never been so hurt.
I was like, okay, sorry I'm a pop girl.
Holy.

I love that song.
I wrote it. (laughs)
I was, like, you know, doing writing sessions and stuff
with people, and I ended up, like,
you know, going to Sweden.
This guy, David Gidlund, I had a session with him,
and he's so talented, and I was just, like,
in the studio with him, and we wrote this song.
And then, when I came back and started putting together
the first EP, I was like,
there is this one song that, you know, as of right now
isn't on the, you know, EP
that could be really amazing, but we'd have to finish it.
It's called "Holy."
And everyone was like, wow, that's a really cool song.
And then I didn't play it live; I don't know why.
I think I was like intimidated by how high it was,
but then I've been playing it, you know, I played it live,
and I thought it sounded nice.
So I'm gonna keep playing it live.

I don't know if I would touch a Queen song.
I'm not that great a singer.
That's a very bold choice.
No, I would love to do a cover on this tour.
I need to think of what it would be, though.
I'd kinda like to do "Black Hole Sun."
Material. (timer ticks)

Like Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush and,
like, Prince, like, that was, it was so inventive,
and they were using this, like, music technology
to make music that was different and new and genre defying.
So, it's definitely, I would say, as far as eras go,
I'm more seventies and nineties
as far as my influences, but I'm definitely influenced
by the people I just listed.

Actually received a,
a package in the mail
that I like to think was from Sheryl Crow,
but really, I think, it was from HBO Max
or whoever did this today. (laughs)
Sheryl Crow documentary, but in the package
was a bottle of Maker's Mark
and a whiskey glass that says Sheryl.
I'm so happy that I own that now. (laughs)

I mean, I was really feeling
my diva-ness when I wrote that song.
I was writing about being a young person,
non-male person, and music and
how I can, you know, be moody and bad and bitchy and
evil and amazing at the same time.
And then, that's what, you know, being young
and being put in a position like this
forces you to, you know, go through all those emotions.
Yummy.

Again, sorry, Kacey.
Lyrics, me and lyrics, no good.
You know, it's cool to, like, tour with somebody, too,
who she's definitely more pop than me, but I feel like
I was, just the ability to have such a,
like, well-run show.
Like, I was like, oh, there's stuff that I can take
from this and apply to my show, even though it's,
my show's like a rock show.
I can definitely, like,
add some of this elegance.
When you tour in
arenas,
you're
using the locker rooms as green rooms, so I got to go
into the Chicago Bulls', like, official
locker room,
which I thought was really cool.
And also the showers are
the height of NBA players,
which is, people don't talk about this very often,
but the sinks and the showers are higher,
so when you're washing your hands, you're, like.
Cursed.
(timer ticks) ♪ And endings lead ♪
♪ to better things like sleeping again ♪
♪ Oh, 'cause it's a curse ♪
♪ to be a friend ♪ (bell dings)
I love that song because I feel like it's,
at first glance, right, it's about, like,
a friendship that didn't work out.
But I also think it's kind of about
singing to myself and being, like, you're a curse, bitch.
Like, stuff that, like, I feel like I've, you know?
In my best moment, I'd look at myself and be like,
Hey, wake up, like, these are some things
you need to assess, and that's a lot that this album is,
you know, reflective in that way, so this song is, you know,
in part about a friendship but also about
me being a full.
Prophet.

at this game, but I made it through.
