Don't Stop Me Now was written by Freddie Mercury and released by Queen on their 1978 album Jazz, becoming one of the band's most enduring and uplifting songs. Its driving piano, soaring vocal and celebratory lyrics helped it grow beyond its original chart run, finding new audiences through films, television, adverts and sports broadcasts. Online, the opening bars are now a shorthand for confidence and celebration, reused in short videos, montages and memes whenever a creator wants an instant burst of joy and momentum.
