Scandal is the fourth single from Queen's 1989 album The Miracle.
[edit] Composition
Scandal was written by Brian May but credited to Queen, the song is about the unwanted attention May and singer Freddie Mercury received from the press in the late 1980s involving May's divorce and marriage to actress Anita Dobson and Mercury's growing health problems (he had yet to tell the public he had HIV and/or AIDS).[1] Queen had several bad experiences with the British tabloids throughout their career.[2] Mercury chose early on to partly seclude himself from the press by these very reasons.
[edit] Recording
May recorded the keyboards and guitars in one take. Mercury's vocal was also done in one take.[1]
