Clean Bandit - Royals (Lorde cover)

Clean Bandit hit the Live Lounge to perform their new single, 'Rather Be' as well as a mystery cover on Thursday. I tweeted them on Wednesday night to see if they had a clue for the Twittersphere and here's what they gave us:

“@ollie_salter_: @cleanbandit Any clues to the mystery cover?” It was in a major key but now it's in a minor key 😜
