Emperor is a music track that unlocks around Rimmington. In this area, the music player will shuffle between playing this track and Attention.

In Classic mode, the track plays around Melzar's Maze and (since an update in 2022) at a small area south-west of Rommik's Crafty Supplies.

Analysis

The song is very slow and simple. It has some low strings, including what sounds like a sitar, a choir in the background, and what sounds like a trumpet or cornet.

When the track arrives at the bridge, the instrumentation changes dramatically, with a guitar playing waltz triplets, violins playing a counter-melody, and woodwinds having a melody. It briefly goes back to the beginning melody, but quickly switches to an almost operatic strings and choir part, with a piano playing the melody.

The trumpet joins back in, and plays the ending melody, before fading out to the sound of the piano.
