"Living on My Own" is a song by Freddie Mercury, originally included in his first solo album Mr. Bad Guy. It was released as a single (backed with "My Love Is Dangerous") in September 1985 in the United Kingdom where it peaked at number 50. The July 1985 release in the United States had "She Blows Hot & Cold" as its B-side.[1]

The 1993 No More Brothers' Mix

In 1993, two years after Mercury's death, the No More Brothers Mix of the song was released and reached number 1 in the UK, Ireland and in France #1 15 weeks, becoming Mercury's first solo number 1 hit; in the rest of the world including Europe, Asia, Canada and Ibero-America this version also reached the top in the charts, meanwhile in the United States the 1993 version was not officially released.[2][3] It remained at the top for two weeks on the British charts.[3]

Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the 1993 version of the song: "Belgian dance producers picked up a Mercury vocal track, put it on top of sequencers—with surprising results—and made a local top 10 hit out of it."[4]Network 40 wrote: "Hitting you over the head like a hammer, the harmony-laden hook compliments an uptempo groove, making "Living On My Own" a perfect balance tune for your playlist."[5]
