"Kings and Queens" is Killing Joke's third single from their fifth studio album, Night Time. It was originally released by E.G. Records on 21 March 1985 as a 12" and 7" single in the UK, and a 7" single by Polydor in the Netherlands. It was produced by Chris Kimsey. The 12" single featured "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" as an A-side, and both "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" and "Kings and Queens" as B-sides. E.G.'s 7" single and Polydor's 7" single exempted "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" and instead featured "Kings and Queens" as the A-side, and "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" as the B-side. E.G. also released a remix of the song, "Kings and Queens (Knaves Mix)", as an A-side and featured the same B-sides as the 12" single of "Kings and Queens".
Although "Kings and Queens" was overshadowed by the success of Killing Joke's previous single, "Love Like Blood", it did reach number 58 in the UK Singles Chart.
