In issue 88 of Rock Sound, Amy Lee explained how this song is based on "Scary Experiences." She explained how many nights she was forced to stay in hotels, because of a stalker.
Amy Lee wrote this song with Terry Balsamo, who joined Evanescence after Ben Moody, who co-founded the group with Lee, left. On their 2003 debut album Fallen, Evanescence was comprised of three members: Lee, Moody, and David Hodges. On their next album, The Open Door (which includes "Snow White Queen"), Lee was joined by Balsamo and three other members. According to Lee, she felt more comfortable writing with Balsamo than with Moody, which led to songs like this one.
In a VH1 track by track, Amy Lee said of "Snow White Queen": "I went through some weird experiences with stalkers. It's weird how it works. My lyrics are so intimate that people feel like they really know me, and I don't know them at all. 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."
