Background and composition

"King Ruby" is the third single to be released by Ider, after "Sorry" and "Pulse" earlier in 2016. Ider released this single themselves as they didn't first sign with a record label until the following year.

The song was inspired by a friend of the duo, Ruby, who had been involved in an accident in India and undertook a large recovery.^[1][3]

Critical reception

Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Andrew Hannah says that "[…] "King Ruby" as a whole is just superb. This is the sound of a band already well into their stride and racing ahead of the competition."^[1]
