King is an album released by Belly in 1995, two years after their previous album, Star. Although the members had tightened their focus and polished their hook-laden songs, the album and its singles did not meet label expectations in the grunge-friendly atmosphere of 1995, and the band broke up shortly after it was released. In the two decades since King's release, many (including some critics) have reconsidered the initial lukewarm attitude towards the album and now hold it as an equal to Belly's highly-regarded debut Star.
The album went on to sell over 350,000 copies in the US alone.
"Now They'll Sleep" was a modest Pop hit in the U.S charting on the Billboard's Bubbling Under The Hot 100 Singles for 5 weeks in the spring of 1995, peaking at #103.
