O baixo de John De Caine escreveu “I Want to Break Free” sob a perspectiva do movimento de libertação feminina, um tema raro para a banda.
A versão do álbum *The Works* (1984) é 61 segundos mais curta que o single remix, pois o fade‑in do sintetizador e o solo mais longo foram removidos.
No vídeo dirigido por David Mallet, Freddie Mercury cortou a barba para imitar o bailarino Nijinsky, mas manteve a barba no trecho de drag, criando um contraste visual marcante.
O videoclipe foi banido pela MTV nos EUA; a proibição só acabou em 1991, quando foi exibido no VH1 em “My Generation”, um episódio dedicado à Queen.
A música ganhou notoriedade quando foi usada em campanha publicitária da Safeway, revigorando o interesse pela faixa anos depois de sua estreia.
