"If we were Lorde, we&amp;#039;d be pretty pleased with ourselves for putting &amp;quot;Royals&amp;quot; out as our debut single. It&amp;#039;s been covered approximately a gazillion and one times on YouTube, is one of those tunes everyone from your little cousin to your actual grandma hum along to, and it sort of won Song of the Year at last year&amp;#039;s GRAMMY Awards. Not the worst start to a career! But after saying that &amp;quot;Royals&amp;quot; &amp;#039;isn&amp;#039;t her best&amp;#039; song, Lorde is now revealing that she thinks it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;horrible,&amp;quot; claiming it sounds like an old-school Nokia ringtone. At an interview with the Daily Record, Lorde said: &amp;quot;I listen to people covering the song and putting their own spin on it, and I listen to it in every single form except the original one I put out, and I realize that actually it sounds horrible.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It sounds like a ringtone from a 2006 Nokia. None of the melodies are cool or good. It&amp;#039;s disastrous. Awful...but for the same reason, in the context of the way I released it, it just worked out.&amp;quot; We don&amp;#039;t know about you, but we could listen to Lorde&amp;#039;s version of &amp;quot;Royals&amp;quot; all day.      Do you think Lorde is being too harsh on herself? Do you think &amp;quot;Royals&amp;quot; is one of her best tracks? Comment below!
