I Want It All was released by Queen in 1989 as the lead single from the album The Miracle, written by guitarist Brian May and sung by Freddie Mercury. The song's theme of ambition and refusal to settle made it a lasting stadium and sports anthem, and its instantly recognisable chorus has kept it in circulation long after its original chart run. Online, the chorus is now commonly trimmed to a short, high-energy clip for edits about goals, wish lists, victories and over-the-top confidence.
About this sound
The chorus of Queen's I Want It All, with Freddie Mercury's soaring vocals over driving guitars, used for confident, ambitious and triumphant moments.
This clip captures the anthemic chorus of Queen's I Want It All, led by Freddie Mercury's commanding vocal as he repeats the song's defiant title over Brian May's soaring guitar, pounding drums and a wall of backing harmonies. The sound builds quickly from a punchy riff into a full stadium-sized swell, with every line landing like a declaration rather than a request. It feels bold, impatient and larger than life, which is why it works so well as a musical punchline: in just a few seconds it turns an ordinary goal, shopping list or workout clip into a moment of unstoppable ambition.
