Escrita em parceria entre Freddie Mercury e o baixista John Deacon, com os versos criados por Mercury e confirmados por Brian May em seu site.
É considerada uma das últimas baladas de piano de Freddie Mercury, marcando o fim de uma fase da carreira do vocalista.
A faixa apresenta afinidades rítmicas e melódicas com músicas mais antigas da banda, como “Play the Game” e “We Are the Champions”.
Apesar de ser reconhecida como uma atualização moderna dos hinos dos anos 70, “Friends Will Be Friends” nunca foi incluída no soundtrack de “Highlander”.
No Reino Unido, a canção alcançou a posição #14 nas paradas, demonstrando seu sucesso comercial.
Embora não tenha sido premiada oficialmente, o single permanece como um marco nas discografias de Queen por sua combinação de piano e refrão épico.
