Which Queen album includes the song “Love of My Life”?

The story behind the answer

Queen’s album containing “Love of My Life” is A Night at the Opera, released in 1975.

The song was written by Freddie Mercury and is a piano-led ballad featuring layered vocals and orchestral effects. Mercury wrote it about Mary Austin, his former partner and lifelong close friend. The studio recording includes harp, which contributes to its distinctive sound.

A Night at the Opera was Queen’s fourth studio album and became the group’s first UK number-one album. It also contains “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “You’re My Best Friend” and “The Prophet’s Song,” making it one of the band’s most celebrated releases.

Queen often performed “Love of My Life” in concert with audiences singing along. On later tours, Mercury sometimes interacted with the crowd while a recording or projected performance of him supplied the vocal part. The song’s album identity is occasionally confused with A Day at the Races, its 1976 follow-up, whose title was chosen as a companion to the earlier record.
