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 ↴
How can I ever win, if I keep on lettin' you back in over and over again?
And how will I ever heal, if I keep allowin' you to control how I feel
You're drainin' my energy
How the fuck you say you're my protector but killin' me inside?
Swear you stay killin' my vibe, why you wastin' my time?
I knew from the first time
That I made you mine
I knew you had problems, I thought I could solve them
But now I know for sure
You need somethin' more
Tried to give you everything I had in me and more
You should go love yourself
You should go get some help
I'ma just love myself
Maybe we both need help
You should go love yourself (yourself)
You should go get some help (help)
I'd rather love myself (myself)
Maybe we both need help
Maybe we both need help
The things that you say, they could ruin my day
I don't know why I let it
Got me thinkin' that I am the problem
But maybe it's you bein' careless
You say I'm needy when I want affection
You gon' fuck around and miss out on your blessing
Yeah, you got the right plan but the wrong bitch
Turn me to a savage, shoot to kill, and I won't miss
(Keep on playin' with me)
I gave you my heart and you just took advantage (took advantage)
You took away the effort and you added damage (added damage)
I'm the one to blame because I let it happen
You projected all your issues onto me and
Now I'm insecure, I need somethin' more
Tried to give you everything I had in me and more
You should go love yourself (yourself)
You should go get some help (help)
I'ma just love myself (myself)
Maybe we both need help
You should go love yourself (yourself)
You should go get some help (help)
I'd rather love myself (ooh, woah)
Maybe we both need help
I'd rather love myself
'Cause you don't know how to love me
The way I wanna be loved
And I can't make you into someone I want you to be
Your issues are too deep
'Cause your issues are way too deep
Way too deep, way too deep, way too deep, way too deep
The lyrics of Queen Naija's song "Insecure" reflect a toxic relationship where the singer is caught in a perpetual cycle of allowing their partner back into their life despite the emotional damage inflicted.

The partner claims to be a protector but is actually causing harm and draining their energy. The singer is frustrated with wasted time and a ruined vibe.
The singer admits that they were aware of their partner's problems from the beginning and believed they could solve them. However, they now realize that their partner needs more than they can give. The singer has tried to give their all, but it's not enough. They suggest that both parties should seek help and love themselves instead of relying on each other. The partner's careless words and actions make the singer question if they themselves are the problem, but they ultimately realize that the blame lies with their partner projecting their issues onto them.
