With glam rock influences including David Bowie and Prince the single is sure to be an anthem for all rock fans everywhere. "I'm thrilled to finally share "Queen" with the world. I felt this song was the natural next step in my evolution as an artist and musician. In my work, I try to challenge ideas about masculinity and gender binaries in beauty. It's an inspiring anthem that I hope will empower everyone to be unapologetically themselves," said Grande.

The music video was shot in one take with makeup by Nikki Fontaine, hair by Kristi Bright, lighting by Bryan Porter with Jon-Erik Goldberg as stage manager. "Queen" was written by Jeremy Schonfeld and produced by Schonfeld and Matt Becker. The impressive creative team behind the song also includes Matt Beck on guitar 1, Doug Derryberry on guitar 2, Stephen "Hoops" Snyder on keys, Jon Clancy on drums, Winston Roye on bass, Sarah Ottoson and Alison Cusano on back vocals, Roy Hendrickson as engineer, Mark Plati as mix engineer, with special thanks to Tino Passante and additional staff at Avatar.
