The band now sell out venues normally reserved for major label, radio 1 play-listed album artists. The March 2018 sold out tour saw 3,300 screaming fans across just 7 shows - the largest being the 950 capacity Manchester Academy 2. An incredible feat for any unsigned act.

KING NO-ONE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
나의 품에 조금은 낯설겠지만
편해질꺼야 두려운 내맘 때문야
넌 언젠가 날 떠나버릴 것만
같은 그런 모습
난 보여줄께 없어
이렇게 밖에는
널 잡을 수 없을까봐
미래가 불안해
그래도 너를 포기못해
Now I will lock
you in my heart,
지금 모습 그대로 내 맘속에
널 영원히 구속할래
Now make you
prisoner of my love,
너를 내게 맡겨봐
지금보다 더 니 모든걸 가질래
간주중
이기적일지도 몰라
난 너에게는 선택할
기회마저도 뺏을테니
난 언제나 널 보면
세상을 다 가진 그런 느낌이
좋았어
절대 놓치지 않겠어
난 죽는다 해도
그만큼 너를 포기못해
Now I will lock
you in my heart,
지금 모습 그대로
내 맘속에 널 영원히 구속할래
Now make you
prisoner of my love,
너를 내게 맡겨봐
지금보다 더 니 모든걸 가질래
두려워 하지마 난
영원토록 널 지켜주고 싶은거야
Now I will lock
you in my heart,
내게 갇혀 버린 너
이젠 영원히 날 벗어날 수 없어
Now make you
prisoner of my love,
이젠 내게 말해봐
너의 모든것 영원히 내꺼라고
The Korean lyrics excerpted from the song Alcatraz by KING NO-ONE explores themes of possessive love and the fear of loss. The lyrics state that the singer will lock their loved one in their heart and make them a prisoner of their love. The singer acknowledges that their love interest may find their passion unfamiliar and may be frightened by the singer’s overly possessive ways. The singer admits that they cannot show their love interest any future plans because they are uncertain and afraid they will leave. However, the singer is determined to never let their love interest go and wants to keep everything under their control, even if it is at the cost of being selfish.
The lyrics illustrate themes of obsession, control, and the fear of loss that are relatable to those who have experienced possessive love. They also highlight the darker side of love, wherein one seeks to control the emotions and actions of their partners. Additionally, the lyrics display the cultural differences that exist between countries, as the song is originally in English and it was translated into Korean, giving it a different tone and meaning. The lyrics illustrate the challenges of interpreting lyrics from a different language and the importance of considering the cultural differences in interpreting lyrics.

Five years time
I'm still collecting pains not to be at your door
It's my crime
But it's me that's watching seasons passing on the floor
They don't touch me
My heart's in Alcatraz
On this night
The stars collide I'll bring them down forevermore
You've got me, you've got me good
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Hold my heart, I'm slowly dying
Five years time, nostalgia's got me needing more
Read my scars
I'm fond of trying
Repent my sins and
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Cut my teeth
Ones that speak of love and broken fairytales
They don't touch me
My heart's in Alcatraz
On my feet
Dodging all the heartstrings that you sent to hail
You've got me
You've got me good
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Hold my heart
I'm slowly dying
Five years time
Nostalgia's got me needing more
Read my scars
I'm fond of trying
Repent my sins and
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Set me free, my heart's in Alcatraz
Set me free, my heart's in Alcatraz
Set me free, my heart's in Alcatraz
Hold my heart I'm slowly dying
Read my scars
Nostalgia's got me needing more
Five years time
Still fond of trying
Repent my sins and set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
Set me free and
Set me free my heart's in Alcatraz
