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.

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.

Hold on baby, hi stinky, you miss me?
No
You don't miss me?
Nah I miss you
You do miss me, give me kissy
Thank you, I give kissy too, muah, I love you
Love you too mama
Okay bye
When I first laid eyes on you
When I heard your heartbeat too
Oh I never knew, I could witness an angel so beautiful
From the very moment you arrived I felt something new inside
I developed a love that was so unconditional
And I promise to give you everything that I have
There's not a dream in this world you can't accomplish or grasp
I will cross any ocean before I let you land
Just hold on to mama's hand and never let it go (woah oh, oh, oh, oh)
Just hold on to mama's hand and never let it go
I'll never let nobody hurt you
Give you the world 'cause you deserve it
Teach you how to treat a woman
Let you know you're gonna be something great
I want for you to shine so bright
Know you can do anything through Christ
I see that there is a star inside you
I'm so glad you're in my life
