Not going to write you a love song (again)

Sara Bareilles' Love Song was a pretty major radio hit. Back in summer 2008, it was played 1,000,000 times every hour on radio stations in the Oxfordshire area alone (FACT*). What's more, it sold in excess of 3m copies in the US (FACT**).

Now she's back with a brand new MOR pop ditty called King Of Anything. Not one to ditch a winning formula, Bareilles has penned a petulant kiss-off to someone who tried to give her unsolicited advice.

"Who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who died and made you king of anything?" she pouts.

Last time round, the venom was directed towards her record label. On this song, the target is a bit more mysterious - but the song's just as catchy, in a "I wish Ben Folds was still this good" kind of way.

Sara's next single is going to be called "You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad.***"

* Not a fact
** Fact
*** Oh, work it out for yourself
