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.
