"Snow White Queen" is the sixth track on the second album, The Open Door.
One of the first songs written for The Open Door, "Snow White Queen" was inspired after Lee had an experience with a stalker. Lee stated, "My privacy had been completely invaded and there were a couple of nights where I couldn't stay at my house. So I wrote a song about it through the eyes of the stalker, and with my perspective, too." The verses are from Amy's perspective and the choruses are the stalker's. She stated in other interview that she was forced to sleep in a hotel and undress in the dark because she didn't know if she was being watched. Entertainment Weekly's Jon Dolan found similarities between the song and Tori Amos' "Me and a Gun". It uses several industrial beats into its composition.
The song title was taken from Lee's username Snow White on EvBoard, EvThreads and EvClub, official forums that are no longer active.
Amy sings her lowest note in this song during the line:
The instrumental loop in the background is a much slower, pitched dropped version of the instrumental loop from "Even in Death", a song from their 2000 demo album, Origin.
