Their adventure started in 2010 extensively playing live, then MTV New Generation aired The Kolors first video ‘I Don’t Give a Funk’ and in the following years they played in Europe and were the supporting act for Italian shows by Paolo Nutini, The Gossip, Hurts and special guests at Atoms For Peace show in Rome.
2015 is a turning point for the band as they win Italian TV talent show “Amici” and release their 4 platinum album “OUT”, scoring a new record for an Italian band, being 1st in the Italian album chart for more than two months, and 3rd best selling album in Italy in 2015. Their hit single, platinum selling ‘EVERYTIME’, has millions of clicks on the internet and has been the soundtrack of Vodafone Italia commercials starring Bruce Willis for more than 1 year. On July 2015 The Kolors embarked on their sold out tour throughout Italy and, on September, they played at EXPO Milan for an audience of more than 11.000, had a nomination as Best Italian Act for MTV EUROPEAN MUSIC AWARDS, and made it on the front cover of ROLLING STONE Italian issue. In 2016 the band won several awards and, in the same year, The Kolors played 2 sold out events, in Rome and Milan, and were picked by THE1975 as support act for their show in Rome.
The Kolors spent the last year between Milan, London and Los Angeles working on new sounds, and 2017 is the right year for an eager return.

Everybody want to be my girl
Everybody's naked on my phone

In "My Queen," The Kolors sing about the difficulties of fame and the unwanted attention that it brings. The song starts by acknowledging that everyone wants to be with the singer, but the intentions of those people are unclear. The singer questions their own image, wondering if they look like a "nasty boy." They are receiving inappropriate messages and feel as though they might be hurting people's hearts unintentionally.
Throughout the song, there is a clear message that the singer does not want anyone to try to be their queen just because they are famous. The singer notes that they do not want to live in a lie and does not need anyone who is "plastic" in their life. The chorus repeats the lines "don't you try to be my queen just singing" and "you will never be my queen just singing," emphasizing the idea that fame and adoration do not equate to genuine connection.
The song ultimately ends with a declaration that the singer is not interested in anyone who wants to control them. They will not be tamed or turned into something they are not just to please someone else. The repeated "La, la, la" of the chorus feels like a sigh of relief, a final letting go of the pressures of fame and expectations put upon the singer.
