Royal Teeth is a happy accident. On a whim, the New Orleans-based band started incorporating samples and electronics to its indie vibe. Though this sounds mainstream, the band catches audiences off-guard with its memorable male and female vocal hooks.
More than ever, the band has cemented its stylistic sound. Before, the lineup changed from show-to-show. Now, the six members are set, ready for royalty.

My Donna
Royal Teeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
To see right now
Is you
So baby don't look down
I'll never make you have to guess
It's you who I love the best
But every day, every day it's back and forth we go
Hold me down
And make me see
That you're the one
I really need
'Cause Every day, every day it's back and forth we go (I don't know)
Every day, every day it’s back and forth we go (I don't, I don't)
If you say there is nothing I want
Then baby I don't, I don't (2x)
All I want
To know is how
You hold me close
Then let me down
I'll never make you have to guess
It's you who I love the best
But every day, every day it's back and forth we go (I don't know)
Every day, every day it’s back and forth we go (I don't, I don't)
If you say there is nothing I want
Then baby I don't, I don't (8x)
I don't
The Royal Teeth’s song ‘My Donna’ is a beautiful love song that expresses a longing desire for the loved one. The verses are full of emotions and yearning and the chorus has a unique melody that will take you into a dreamlike state. The song speaks about a difficult relationship where the couple fights and argues, but despite everything, the singer knows in his heart that it’s his Donna who he loves the best. The lyrics of the song have a sense of vulnerability and honesty, which is what sets this song apart from others.
The first verse of the song talks about the singer’s desire to see his Donna all the time. He tells her not to look down as he will always be there to support her. The second verse speaks about how the singer wants to be held down by his Donna as he needs her in his life. He doesn’t want to be let go of, and he needs her now more than ever. The chorus with its repetitive verses highlights the fact that the relationship is in a constant state of flux, and they are always fighting.
The song is an ode to love and all its imperfections. It's about wanting someone so bad that you are willing to put up with all the ups and downs that come with a relationship. With its infectious beat and catchy lyrics, ‘My Donna’ is sure to be an all-time favorite of those in love.

Dude! How can you even say that? Granted.. its a genre aimed more towards teenie boppers and pop fans, but they have rhythm, harmony, good hooks, talented singers AND musicians.... Like the music or not, they kill it.
