Songfacts®:

  • Although originally debuting on Freddie Mercury's solo work Mr. Bad Guy, the remastered version by Queen has extra guitar solos, vocals, and has added lines of Mercury from prior songs such as "It's A Kind Of Magic" (Haha it's magic!) and "Hammer to Fall" (Give it to Me!). The song has a more pop flavor than most Queen songs.
  • The "I get so lonely" lyric comes from Freddie Mercury's solo track "Living On My Own," which became a #1 UK hit in 1993 with the No More Brothers remix.
  • This song is playable on the DS video game Elite Beat Agents. >>>
