Songfacts®:

  • "Mr. Bad Guy" is the title track of Freddie Mercury's 1985 solo album. It was written by Mercury alone as were all the songs therein. The second track on side 2, it is autobiographical, because as he said in a documentary screened by BBC Television 21 years after his death, at that time he was everybody's bad guy. This was probably especially true for Columbia Records because the album bombed. >>
