"Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" is a song by Freddie Mercury, released in 1985 as the fourth and final single from his debut solo album Mr. Bad Guy . [1] It was written by Mercury, and produced by Reinhold Mack and Mercury. [2] "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" reached No. 76 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for two weeks. [3] According to Peter Freestone, in his book Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man Who Knew Him Best, "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" was inspired by Mercury's relationship with the Austrian actress Barbara Valentin. [4]
On 5 September 2019, an animated music video for the song was released on YouTube to promote the Never Boring compilation album. [5] [6]
Upon its release, Peter Martin of Smash Hits described the song as "one of [Mercury's] propping-up-the-piano-in-the-smoky-bar routines". [7] Tim Parker of Number One commented, "Freddie Mercury tries his hand at a romantic George Michael ballad but ends up doing a Liberace. The king of camp should stick to high energy." [8] In a retrospective review of Mr. Bad Guy, Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic considered the song one of the album's "winners", "help[ing] make this an outstanding record from start to finish". [9]
