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.

Queen Naija Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't lie, I wanted you the first time that I saw you (first)
Tried to diss me 'til you realized I'm someone you could talk to (for real)
You've been hurt over and over, tell me what has it taught you? (Huh)
Soon as you fell for me though, I had caught you (didn't I?)
Dead your exes, don't let them haunt you (haunt you)
You know if they want what's best for them then they still want you (still, yeah)
I know (I know, still), I know (Queen)
Boy, I love you on your worst day
Still see you how I saw you on the first day (first day)
Even though there's times that we ain't seein' eye to eye
Can't imagine spendin' holidays or birthdays without you
And the moment I leave, I miss bein' around you (yeah-yeah)
And you know you mean well, I never ever doubt you (yeah)
Yeah, we been through some hell but I still care about you (care about you)
Still crazy 'bout you (crazy 'bout you)
And I know that they
Hopin' and prayin' on our downfall
Prayin' on our downfall
They wanna see you walk away
Won't be satisfied until we break up
Hate it when we make up (yeah-yeah)
They hate our love
Want to see us fall
They want to see us fall
They be hatin' on us
Wishin' we would fall
Can't let 'em see us fall
Every other day is a different story
Say they seen you out in public with a different shawty (shawty)
Said you with me for the clout and you don't really love me (love me)
While we sittin' here laughin' at all these fuckin' dummies (oh)
I don't get it, we stay out the way and stack our money (oh, oh)
Take vacations and make sure the kids ain't lackin' nothin' (oh-oh, ooh, oh)
Throwin' shade but on this island, shit, it's real sunny (real sunny)
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
And I know that they
Hopin' and prayin' on our downfall
Prayin' on our downfall
They wanna see you walk away
Be satisfied until we break up
Hate it when we make up (yeah-yeah)
They hate our love
Want to see us fall
They want to see us fall
They be hatin' on us
Wishin' we would fall (woah, woah)
Can't let 'em see us fall (boy)
Ayy, only thing that ever came between us was distance (straight up)
Only thing you ever asked for me is to keep it consistent
We been workin' on communication (woah)
And I learned it's not just how you talk though, it's how you listen
I can't be worried 'bout mentions, fuck who ain't us
They can take it how they wanna take it (take it, fuck 'em)
Tryna break a happy home up while we renovate it
Niggas be irritated, they wish we would end it
But they wasn't there at the beginnin' (woah, woah)
They wasn't there when your bro died and the pain felt never endin' (no)
Bond had been cemented
Fuck you under water, only time you was pinned against me (straight up)
Helped organize my life, before you it was crash site (word, word)
Could see my future with you 'cause I met you in the past life (hey)
Mi amor (woah), can't think of anything in the world that I needed more
This that grandparents rockin' chair, fall in love, never need a divorce (no)
In fact, I'll ball with you, only time that we needed a court
You need me, I'm needin' you more
They hate our love (for sure)
Want to see us fall
They want to see us fall (ayy)
They be hatin' on us (how you gon' hate this?)
Wishin' we would fall (yeah, boy)
Can't let 'em see us fall (woah, woah)
The song "Hate Our Love" by Queen Naija & Big Sean is a love ballad that speaks of the trials and tribulations that come with being in a romantic relationship. It starts off with Queen Naija admitting that she had an instant attraction to her lover from the first time she saw him. Her lover, on the other hand, was a bit hesitant about pursuing her until he discovered that they could communicate easily. Despite the ups and downs, Queen Naija is willing to stick it out with her "boy" because she loves him even on his bad days. She is committed to making the relationship work because of how much she cares for him.
However, the song acknowledges that not everyone is rooting for their love. The couple is well aware of the outside forces that are working against them. There are people who would love nothing more than to see the couple break up. These individuals are depicted as "haters" who can't stand to see the couple happy. The song speaks of the obstacles that they face in their relationship, but it is clear that they are determined to make it work.
Overall, "Hate Our Love" is a song about the struggles that can come with being in love. It highlights the importance of commitment, communication, and resilience in maintaining a loving relationship.
