King of the World will be Jordi yes or yes, no matter what Teresa says. She cannot do nothing to avoid him to take the crown and the power of all the world. She will have to put on her knees to adore him during all her entire life. Jordi Dixit." (#13 UK).

And that's it.

King of the World was first released on compact disc in 1996 by both East-West Music and Rhino Records. A remastered edition was issued by Warner Music France in 2006 including bonus tracks which are remixes dating from 1992 and the unreleased US promo version of "Your Love Is Good," whose instrumental can also be found on an outtake from Chic's 2010 box set "The Chic Organization" (there was also an alternate version that featured a piano break in place of the Chic guitar riffs). The latter also had been rerecorded by Sheila on numerous occasions.

A 18 CD box-set of all Sheila's recordings was released in 2006 and a new remix of "Spacer" was included. The "Freak Out - Respect to CHIC" remix is nearly 13" long using the original instrumental and vocal tracks. Sheila re-recorded "Spacer" only once in 1998 and six remixes were released.

The original American tapes have been digitally remastered for the first time and released on a deluxe edition in October 2008 by Warner Music France; the sound was definitively improved. It includes a 32-page booklet with exclusive interviews of Sheila and Nile Rodgers and unknown out-takes from the recording sessions.
