"I Was Born To Love You" is a 1985's song by Freddie Mercury, and was released as a single and on the Mr. Bad Guy album. After Mercury's death, Queen re-recorded this song for their album Made in Heaven in 1995.
The song received its live debut on the 2005 Queen + Paul Rodgers tour of Japan. Roger Taylor and Brian May performed the song acoustically.
[edit] Trivia
The Queen version was used as the theme song of the Japanese drama "Pride" on Fuji Television in 2004, starring Takuya Kimura and Yoko Takeuchi. This drama's soundtrack also contained other songs by Queen."We will rock you/ We are the Champions", "Bohemian Rapsody" are some of the songs used in this japanese drama.
A cover version of this song is featured in one stage of the Nintendo DS video game Elite Beat Agents, accompanying a man named Leo in his attempt to woo a woman who initially rejects him so he may paint a portrait of her. The two are very heavily implied to be Leonardo da Vinci and Mona Lisa, but this is never directly stated.
