Sara Bareilles: 'King of Anything' Song Premiere

By Amber James Posted May 10th 2010 10:00AM

Exclusive: Sara Bareilles proved she won't write a 'Love Song' for just anyone, and now she's back with another angst-ridden message about love. In 'King of Anything,' the first single off her forthcoming sophomore album, Bareilles vents her frustration about unsolicited love advice in a peppy, pop song.

"'King of Anything' is sort of a 'f**k you' song," jokes Bareilles. "I've had more unsolicited advice on my life than I care to mention, and this was how I dealt with it. It felt empowering to turn that frustration into music, especially a song that doesn't even sound angry. That's sort of what 'Love Song' was as well. Apparently, I don't get over things very quickly."

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Sara Bareilles' 'King of Anything':

Bareilles wrote and recorded 'King Of Anything' in Los Angeles. The pop track, produced by Neal Avron, hits airwaves May 10 and will kick off the official countdown to the as-yet untitled album's September release.

Bareilles' debut album, 'Little Voice,' received two Grammy nominations for her triple platinum-selling hit single, 'Love Song.'

Love it! This one's got me written ALL over it!! My ex tried to smother everything in sweetness and "nice" and all the while he was having his cake and eating it too. Just doesn't work that way for those of us with integrity and self confidence :) When can we get this on iTunes??
