I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the world I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune And everything that goes with it I thank you all But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the world We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions

“We Are the Champions” foi escrita por Freddie Mercury com a ideia de participação do público, e ele explicou que o “Nós” do título representa todas as pessoas que cantam a música.
Brian May descreveu a canção como “unificadora e positiva”, destacando seu papel como hino em vitórias esportivas, inclusive na Copa do Mundo FIFA de 1994.
Em 2009, a gravação foi incluída no Grammy Hall of Fame, reconhecendo sua importância histórica na música.
A versão original de estúdio tem duas estrofes a mais que o single de 1977; esses trechos inéditos foram lançados em 7 de outubro de 2017 como “Raw Sessions”, usando tomadas vocais e instrumentais nunca antes ouvidas das faixas multitrilha.
A canção alcançou o nº 2 nas paradas do Reino Unido, nº 4 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA e nº 3 no Canadá, consolidando‑se como um dos hinos de rock mais reconhecidos mundialmente.
