In this song, the singer (Christina Modestou) takes on the role of Anne Boleyn, who in the 16^th century briefly served as the Queen of England as the wife of King Henry VIII. This track basically highlights key points in her life, especially in terms of her relationship to the king, from what the writers deem would have been her personal perspective.

In the song, Boleyn uses the titular phrase “don’t lose your head” as in telling the addressees of the song not to get upset over what appears to be her somewhat-conceited attitude. However, the title is also likely to be a pun alluding to the fact that Boleyn met her own fate via beheading in 1536.

This track may contain some historical inaccuracies. However, the intent does not necessarily seem tantamount to giving listeners a history lesson. Rather it is to portray the character of Anne Boleyn within the context of a popular musical. And in that regard, Queen Anne is depicted as someone who is level-headed, shrewd, seductive, likes to “have some fun” and is to some degree confrontational. And her ambitions and lifestyle often get her into beef, which is why she compelled to regularly tell the people she is dealing with not to ‘lose their heads’.
