The movie is directed by Black Deniro of Won’t Quit Entertainment, known for productions including Dope Girls and Jennie.

Following its release, Queen gained early traction internationally, reaching No. 25 on the Global iTunes Reggae Chart and No. 15 on the Canada iTunes Reggae Chart. The song’s message celebrating women, beauty, admiration, and empowerment helped it resonate with audiences beyond the Caribbean.

The track’s inclusion in SWITCH, which is expected to premiere this summer before heading to major streaming platforms, marks another crossover moment for the Jamaican entertainer and underscores the broader commercial appeal of his music.

Adding to the momentum surrounding the campaign, Vershon recently released A Mother Like You, another single from his forthcoming EP To A Queen. Released on Jamaica’s Teachers’ Day, the song pays tribute not only to mothers but also to women who nurture, teach, and guide others.

The official music video premiered on Mother’s Day, reinforcing the project’s themes of appreciation, love, and empowerment.

“This campaign has always been about honoring women in meaningful ways while showcasing Vershon’s versatility as an artist,” said Jenelle Alexia of A’Legends Productions.

“From chart success, to film placement, to purpose-driven releases, this is about creating timeless music that connects emotionally while elevating Caribbean talent on an international level,” she added.

Originally scheduled for an earlier release, To A Queen is now expected in June 2026. According to the team behind the project, the EP will continue its focus on celebrating women through heartfelt storytelling, authenticity, and Vershon’s signature versatility.
