It was also the B-side of the non-album single "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)". SynopsisThe song is a "vengeful ballad" whose lyrics are an allegory to describe the end of a relationship.[1] Critical receptionOn his book Abba – Uncensored on the Record, John Tobler said the song "appeared to be much more personal than many of the group's previous songs".[1] The Sydney Morning Herald said "The King Has Lost His Crown" is "an interesting song with some neat variations in style".[2] Internet reviewer George Starostin said it "is simply way too pompous and ambitious to be endured".[3] ABBA biograph Carl Magnus Palm said "Perhaps there's ... a sense of "undiscovered gem" about [Voulez-Vous], simply because what I feel were the best tracks were never international single A-sides, such as 'As Good as New', 'The King Has Lost His Crown' and 'If It Wasn't for the Nights'."[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book|first= John |last= Tobler |authorlink= John Tobler |title= Abba – Uncensored on the Record |year= 2011 |page= 67 |publisher= Coda Books Ltd. |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=-hkbqflhfKoC&pg=PT67&dq=%22the+king+has+lost+his+crown%22}} {{ABBA}}{{ABBA songs}}{{DEFAULTSORT:King Has Lost His Crown}}2. ^{{cite news|title= ABBA make a comeback |date= 27 May 1979 |newspaper= The Sydney Morning Herald |page= 48 |url= https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=f_1jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ieYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3368,991707&dq&hl=en}} 3. ^{{cite web|title= ABBA Reviews |publisher= Starling.rinet.ru |accessdate= 16 February 2014 |url= http://starling.rinet.ru/music/abba.htm#Vous}} 4. ^{{cite web|title= ABBA – favourites and least favourites |publisher= Carl Magnus Palm |date= 6 June 2012 |url= http://www.carlmagnuspalm.com/about/carl-magnus-palm/abba-favourites-and-least-favourites |accessdate= 16 February 2014}} 4 : 1979 songs|ABBA songs|1970s ballads|Songs written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus |
