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.

The Queen version was used as the theme song of the Japanese drama Pride on Fuji Television in 2004, starring Takuya Kimura and Yūko Takeuchi. The show's soundtrack also contained other songs by Queen, including "We Will Rock You, "We Are the Champions" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". The song was released as a tie-in single in that country, and reached #1 on the Japanese Oricon international singles chart.
A cover version of this song – based around the Queen re-recording – is featured in the fourth level of the Nintendo DS video game Elite Beat Agents.
This song was featured in episode 29 of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, during a competitive game of gym-class volleyball.
