“Living on My Own (No More Brothers Mix)” is a lively and infectious dance track by legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Originally featured on his debut solo album, Mr. Bad Guy (1985), the song was remixed and re-released posthumously in 1993, becoming a massive international hit. The remix was produced by No More Brothers, who reworked the track into a club-friendly anthem while retaining its original charm and energy.
The lyrics of “Living on My Own” reflect themes of independence, loneliness, and resilience. Musically, the 1993 remix transformed the original track, which was more of a disco-inspired pop song, into an upbeat Eurodance track. The remix emphasized a driving beat, energetic synths, and layered vocals, giving it a modern feel that resonated with dance music audiences of the early 1990s. Mercury’s powerful and expressive vocal delivery remained the focal point, elevating the track’s emotional depth.
The remix achieved significant commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1993 and staying there for two weeks. It also topped the charts in several other countries, including France, Italy, and Spain, and became one of Mercury’s most successful solo singles
The music video for the remix featured archival footage of Mercury from various live performances and personal moments, celebrating his vibrant personality and legendary status. The video’s montage of his larger-than-life presence served as a poignant reminder of his legacy.
