After revealing earlier this week that her planned album, 'S/E/X', was scrapped, Paige Elliot also revealed that a new single would be released this weekend. It was stated that she wanted to go in a different direction, with the material on 'S/E/X' being too "intense" for what she wanted.
"The new single's probably the best single choice for the new album," Elliot stated upon the press release for the new single. "It's one the label really wanted, and I know it may sound a bit generic, but it's still one I like. It's better than me having to record a song I don't like so the label can score a quick hit. It's the best for all of us."
Elliot also stated that "The Queen" was the "happiest" song on the album, also comparing the darkness of the album to the direction she wanted:
"With 'S/E/X', everything was so... Vulgar. It was my original intent to be that way, and bring more awareness and openness to sex and stop it from being a taboo, but I realized I didn't want that. I didn't want to go down the drain becoming some skank artist and be mistaken for doing things for shock. Now, the new album is dark, just like 'S/E/X' was... But it's totally different. Sex may be a part of it, but it's not the main concept by any means. That said, 'The Queen' is probably the happiest and lightest song on the album. That's part of why my label wanted it to be the lead single... But I think it works, so that's how it's going to be."

"The Queen" is a Eurohouse-oriented song, with a heavy dance beat and many layered synths. The song also draws from electro elements, while definitely remaining an original pop song. Lyrically, the song describes the singer, Paige Elliot, as a Queen reflecting on her life through the first verse, while then moving on to say she'll rise to power again in the chorus but also pleading with her current lover to let her go so she can rule. Elliot stated earlier this week that the song can reflect on being torn between your personal and private life, while also saying it represents her being strong after a past relationship (Presumably after the divorce from her ex-husband, David Elliot).
The song opens to simply heavy drums, soon accompanied by a grinding, layered bassline featured throughout the song as Paige begins to speak in a low voice over it. As the bass begins to grow with some synths added, her voice becomes more harmonious before it suddenly cuts off to an instrumental section, featuring bubbling synths that slowly grow before soft drums are added, along with a piano and building synths. The song then erupts into the chorus, with the bassline from earlier added again along with higher synths following the rhythm with a strong melody added. The chorus has been described by Elliot's sister as "anthemic", before the chorus returns to just the bassline for the spoken lines again. A short post-chorus is delivered, similar to the first verse, before it returns to the instrumental section with no drums. It continues to build for the remainder of the verse when her vocals return, lacking a piano and drums but the synthetic melody continuing to rise. After the chorus plays once again, the song begins to decrease in build, typical for most EDM songs, with elements being taken away until it finally ends and fades out.
The music video for the song was directed by Francis Lawrence and Terry Richardson, though Elliot insisted on overseeing the entire project. Elliot's manager and label representative, Carlton McGuire, stated:
"The single's cover is from the video. There's a lot more to it than just that, but that's a great shot from it... She's basically in that bigass house, and it's mostly empty, but there are some great... Visions, I guess? I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but Paige has a great idea for what's going on, and she gets crazy and jumpy when people ask about it, so I decided to not question her and just let it go as it is, because it looks great."
The video is due to release later this week, along with several other treatments for Elliot's usual singles.

Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
Full Lyrics
CHORUS: 0:15 - 0:45 (SPOKEN):
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
I'll rise up again
I'll take on the world
I want to be their Queen
But I can be your girl
VERSE: 1:00 - 1:28
I've lived a life of glory
And had all my pleasures
I've gotten all my riches
And been given many treasures
Sometimes I don't know how
I can live as your sweet wife
When I have so many other things
To fulfill throughout my life
CHORUS: 1:30 - 2:15
I'll rise up again
I'll take on the world
I want to be their Queen
But I can be your girl
Bring me to the throne
And watch me on the screen
I've always been your woman
Now let me be their Queen (SPOKEN):
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
POST-CHORUS: 2:16 - 2:31
Royal blood is inside me
I'll come back to reign
I dream of love and peace
I'll rule without pain
VERSE: 2:46 - 3:14
The battle's hardly over
And the war is far from done
Though they still come at me
I know that I have won
I'll take us through the land
And bring us to our God
We'll see our coming Heaven
And leave them all awed
CHORUS: 3:16 - 4:02
I'll rise up again
I'll take on the world
I want to be their Queen
But I can be your girl
Bring me to the throne
And watch me on the screen
I've always been your woman
Now let me be their Queen (SPOKEN):
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
Try as they all may
I'll always be the Queen
Power running through my veins
The ruler from their dreams
