A faixa foi lançada como single nos Estados Unidos em 5 de setembro de 1991 (que foi o último aniversário que Freddie Mercury comemorou vivo) e como duplo A-side single no Reino Unido, três meses depois, em 9 de dezembro, na sequência da morte de Mercury, no B-Side, "Bohemian Rhapsody". O single estreou em # 1 na parada de singles do Reino Unido. A canção foi premiada com um Brit Award para "Melhor Single ", em 1992.
"These Are the Days of Our Lives" tem um certa similaridade temática com a música "Love of My Life" (1975), pois usa duas vezes a linha "Still Love you". No final da canção, Mercury simplesmente fala as palavras, como ele costumava fazer em versões ao vivo de "Love of My Life".
ft. Freddie Mercury
Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show.
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true -
When I look and I find I still love you.
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go - with the flow
Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change
Those were the days of our lives yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you,
I still love you.
