    History

    Freddie Mercury stated in an interview that this song was originally recorded with Rod Stewart in 1983. It is suggested that this song was intended to be on Queen`s The Works album in 1984.[A] Some backing lyrics in the version intended for release on Made in Heaven had to be changed due to copyright problems, because it resembled a line from "Piece of My Heart".[citation needed] The first Mexican and Dutch pressings of the album, however, had the original version. The song peaked at No. 9 on the UK singles chart. According to the Queen website, BBC Radio 1 did not playlist this song.[1]
