“Morning Elvis” is Dance Fever’s closing track. It was written by Florence Welch as a swelling confessional about a time of being so hungover to the point of missing a planned visit to Graceland, the “home” of singer Elvis Presley in Memphis, TN.
The song meditates around the topic of sobriety and the challenges it presents. In an interview with The New York Times, Florence mentioned:
"I thought the way to hang onto your rock ’n’ roll roots was to be the drunkest person in the room."
The track ends with the sounds of a cheering crowd, which implies that Florence did make it to the stage, as she sings throughout the song.
