The track was premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show on July 18, 2018. Lyrically, the song features Eilish plotting for world dominance. Ĭritics have described Eilish's vocals as "whispered" and "mumbled". The song is a trap-influenced electropop and industrial song featuring Eilish singing over "blaring synths and rapid-fire hi-hats." The chorus utilizes a "thumping bass (that) slithers menacingly." Additionally, the opening incorporates a recording of Eilish's father sharpening knives. The song was released on a 7-inch vinyl, along with " Bitches Broken Hearts" as the B-side on October 20, 2018, and was sold exclusively during her 1 By 1 Tour. The song "Human" by Iranian-Dutch singer Sevdaliza was also cited as one of the track's influences. Eilish and O'Connell, who are fans of the series, thought that the line was "dope" and decided to write a song around the quote.
The song's title was inspired by a scene from the third episode of the second season of BBC television series Sherlock titled " The Reichenbach Fall", where the villain Jim Moriarty says the line "Honey, you should see me in a crown". The song received positive reviews and charted in countries including the US, Canada and Australia.
It was written by Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell, who also produced the track. It was released on July 18, 2018, through Darkroom and Interscope Records. " You Should See Me in a Crown" is a song by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and the lead single of her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019).
