What was the title of Queen's first single, released in 1973?

Queen's first single, released in 1973, was “Keep Yourself Alive.”

Brian May wrote the song before Queen had finalized its classic four-member lineup. The band recorded it during sessions for their debut album, Queen, and it was issued by EMI in the United Kingdom on 6 July 1973.

The original single did not make a major chart impact, but the song became an important early statement of Queen's sound. It combines May's layered guitar work with energetic rhythm playing and Freddie Mercury's forceful vocal performance.

The track appears as the opening song on Queen's debut album, released on 13 July 1973. It is sometimes confused with “Liar,” another early Queen song that received attention as a single in some markets, but “Keep Yourself Alive” was the band's official first single.
