Queen Lily Contemplates Growth and Self-Discovery in New Single “Maybe Tomorrow”
Emerging indie-pop rock artist Queen Lily returns with her new single, “Maybe Tomorrow,” a heartfelt follow-up to her previous single, “Mean to Fly,” expanding on the themes of growth, longing, and self-discovery. “Maybe Tomorrow” reflects on what it means to be in the middle of the journey, not at the start, not at the end, but somewhere suspended in between, holding hope close. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
If “Mean to Fly” captures the bold anticipation of leaping, “Maybe Tomorrow” is its wiser, more grounded counterpart, a reflection from midair. “It’s kind of the older sister of ‘Mean to Fly,’” explains Christina Watson, the voice behind Queen Lily. In the earlier song, she sings, “hide behind the window, liberty in limbo, safe beneath the city lights. Sorry, darling, but I mean to fly,” a lyric rooted in the courage to step into the unknown. “Maybe Tomorrow,” by contrast, explores what happens once you’ve already jumped. In the chorus, “Back at the window, I’m looking up this time, I know I’ll be alright, oh, anywhere. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll be up in the sky. I’ve never been this high, but I’ll be there tonight.” Written and performed by Christina Watson and produced by her brother Damon Watson, the two songs act as mirrors, connected by the recurring motif of the window, a symbol of transition, uncertainty, and personal improvement. Watson’s vocals glide through guitars and dreamy indie-pop textures, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and expansive.
Christina Watson, known professionally as Queen Lily, turns memory, emotion, and reflection into music that is both ethereal and immersive. Born and raised in New York City, she adopted the moniker Queen Lily in honor of her grandmother Lily, whose curiosity and passion for the world shaped the imaginative sensibilities behind her songwriting. From a young age, she began writing to navigate life’s trials and moments of evolution, crafting music that blends poetic lyricism with textured indie soundscapes and a powerful, expressive vocal presence. Working closely with her brother, who co-writes and produces all of the music, the sibling duo has created a body of work that delves into life’s highs, lows, and messy in-betweens. Their catalog explores an emotional adventure through songs like the bittersweet “Mean to Fly” and the defiant “No Words Can Describe You.” Each track offers a glimpse into their shared world, merging nostalgia, vulnerability, and cinematic energy, and establishing Queen Lily as a bold and compelling voice in indie music.
“Maybe Tomorrow” encourages listeners to enjoy the path of learning and becoming wiser through the ups and downs. The track is now available to stream and download worldwide. Stay up to date on Queen Lily’s musical journey by following her on Instagram @QueenLilyMusic.
