"Living on My Own" is a song by Freddie Mercury, from the album Mr. Bad Guy. It was released as a single (backed with "My Love Is Dangerous") in September 1985 in the UK where it peaked at no.50. The July 1985 release in the United States had "She Blows Hot & Cold" as its B-side.
In 1993, almost two years after Mercury's death, a remix of the song was released and reached no.1 in the UK, becoming Mercury's only solo number one hit. It remained at the top for 2 weeks and was in the charts for a total of 13 weeks. The video for "Living on My Own" featured footage of Mercury's 39th birthday party in 1985 in Munich. On her 2000 Bohemian Summer tour, Hikaru Utada, a number-one selling J-Pop artist, did a cover of the song. She has quoted Mercury as one of her inspirations. She also alludes to "Living on My Own" in her song "This One (Crying Like a Child)" from her album This Is the One.

  • very nice song

  • Esta cancion me encanta es buenisima...

  • RIP Freddie!!! Incredible VOICE!!! I LOVE YOU!!

  • I prefer this version from the videoversion, especially the awesome singy part @ 2.54 (it is a bit different, less noticable in the music video)

    I really like the video though, but I wish he could have kept the vocals from this version. Nevertheless, the song is really great, the next party I go to, I'm seriously putting this song on! Don't care if the rest of my fellow party-sheeps want to listen to mainstream, sellout, autotuned, robotical crap!
