"King Ruby" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter duo Ider. It was self-released on 23 September 2016. It features on the soundtrack of the 2017 Electronic Arts video game FIFA 18.^[2]

"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.^[1][3]

Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Andrew Hannah says that "[…] "King Ruby" as a whole is just superb. This is the sound of a band already well into their stride and racing ahead of the competition."^[1]
