Wikipedia article
"'King for a Day'" is the fourth single from British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fourth studio album, 'Synkronized' (1999). The song was written by Jay Kay and is a "tribute" to bassist Stuart Zender, who left the band shortly before 'Synkronized' was completed. Jay Kay subsequently rerecorded all the songs on the album without Zender, and added "King for a Day" as the final track on the album. Upon its release on 29 November 1999, the song reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. The video features Jay Kay walking around an old mansion, where each room has a member of the band.
