about

She Becomes The Queen is the second original track from The What? The song was written about while reading the 6th Harry Potter book. The song is about Harry and Ginny, but it can be about any two people that are friends and decide to become more. The lyrics were done to somewhat hide the true meaning from Muggles, but the cover art being Hogwarts, and a whispered secret message after the last chorus, leaves no doubt to the true origin of the song.
The song is also the first from The What? to feature a guest vocalist, Kireina Michan. The song was written as duet with male and female sections (Harry and Ginny), and since The What? does not have a female vocalist, a collaboration was in order. Kireina stepped in and gave us her amazing vocals for this track.

lyrics

Sitting around with my best friends, making plans to change the world
She stopped by and tried to fit in, but she’s just another girl
She seemed alright and nice enough, she wants to be my friend
If I knew, what I know now, I’d go back and start again

We hang out at school and talk on the phone
But nothing in between
Then I see it’s already too late
When she becomes the Queen

I saw him there, I knew him well, I watched him for so long
I think he’d like to be with me, but I just might be wrong
He leads the team, he’s MVP, he won another game
He talks to me, every now and then, but he barely knows my name

We hang out at school and talk on the phone
But nothing in between
Then I see, it’s already too late
When she becomes the Queen

She was always right for me
I didn’t understand
He was always right for me
But he wouldn’t take my hand

We hang out at school and talk on the phone
But nothing in between
Then I see it’s already too late
When she becomes the Queen

We hang out at school and talk on the phone
But nothing in between
Then I see it’s already too late
When she becomes the Queen
When she becomes the Queen
When she becomes the Queen
When she becomes the Queen
(secret message)
