Raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan, R&B vocalist Queen Naija first became known as a contestant on multiple seasons of American Idol in the early 2010s. Following that, she became famous as an internet personality for her YouTube channel Chris & Queen. On the channel, Naija (also known as Queen Sails) and her husband Chris Sails would post various humorous videos with an emphasis on elaborate pranks. At the very end of 2017, amid some serious relationship issues, she decided to focus on her music again.
In 2018 she signed a contract with the record label 'Capitol Records', thus starting her solo career. Her debut single, "Medicine", was released in June 2018 and reached 45th place on the Billboard Hot 100. Three weeks later came the second single, "Karma", which came in 63rd position in the standings. An EP titled "Queen" Naija came out on July 27 and debuted in 26th place on the Billboard 200.
Away From You
Queen Naija Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swear we had a good weekend
Now you got an attitude
For what? I don't know but it can't be that serious
Silent treatment ain't what's up (no, no)
Space won't help either one of us
Back to square one, I guess
Won't you kiss me? Let's end this
Every time I think about you leaving, I go insane
Every time I think about leaving
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you
Even if I wanted to, oh, ahh
Even if I wanted to, oh, ohh
Even if I wanted to, ooh
Even if I wanted to (even if I wanted to, wanted to, wanted to)
Ooh, I can't stand it when you talk in a tone
Or the way you crinkle your nose
At the smallest things that I do
And even when you're mean, I mean you're still cute
The sarcasm you use
Man, I hate it but I still choose you
It's crazy, no matter what you do
I could never see myself without you
Every time I think about you leaving, I go insane
Every time I think about leaving
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you
Even if I wanted to, oh, ahh
Even if I wanted to, oh, ohh
Even if I wanted to, ooh (even I wanted, uh uh, even if I wanted)
Even if I wanted to (even if I wanted to, wanted to, wanted to)
I'm so mad that I can't stay mad at you (ooh ohh)
Despite all of the back and forth we do (oh, forth we do)
I just want to let you know that I'm willing to ride
Whether you wrong or right
Although we fuss and fight, I'd rather be by your side
Ohh (ohh), I'm so mad that I can't stay mad at you (I can't stay mad at you)
Despite all of the back and forth we do (back and forth we do)
I just want to let you know that I'm willing to ride
Whether you wrong or right
Although we fuss and fight, I'd rather be by your side ohh
And I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you, away from you, baby
I can't walk away from you, away from you
Even if I wanted to, oh, ahh
Even if I wanted to, oh, ohh
Even if I wanted to, ooh
Even if I wanted to
In this song, Queen Naija expresses her mixed emotions and feelings towards her lover. The song starts with her wondering why her lover is upset with her, even though they had a good time together. She is puzzled by the silent treatment she is getting and doesn't see the need for space in their relationship. She hints that they are back to square one and calls on her lover to kiss her and end the conflict. The chorus repeats the message that no matter how much she thinks about leaving, she can't walk away from her lover. She's willing to endure the struggles and challenges that come with the relationship and can't imagine herself being without her lover.
The second verse focuses on her lover's imperfections and how she still chooses to be with him despite his flaws. She finds his tone of voice and use of sarcasm irritating but is still drawn to him. Queen Naija sees her lover as cute, even when he is mean. She acknowledges that her love for him is so strong that she can't imagine her life without him.
Through this song, Queen Naija underscores the idea that every relationship has its challenges but the love that two people share can overpower those challenges. She suggests that sometimes, despite a person's flaws, giving up on them is not an option.
