"'Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow'" is a song by Freddie Mercury, released in 1985 as the fourth and final single from his debut solo album 'Mr. Bad Guy'. It was written by Mercury, and produced by Reinhold Mack and Mercury. Retrieved 21 November 2018 "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" reached No. 76 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for two weeks. According to Peter Freestone, in his book 'Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man Who Knew Him Best', "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" was inspired by Mercury's relationship with the Austrian actress Barbara Valentin.

On 5 September 2019, an animated music video for the song was released on YouTube to promote the 'Never Boring' compilation album.

Critical reception



Upon release, Peter Martin of 'Smash Hits' described the song as "one of [Mercury's] propping-up-the-piano-in-the-smoky-bar routines". Tim Parker of 'Number One' commented: "Freddie Mercury tries his hand at a romantic George Michael ballad but ends up doing a Liberace. The king of camp should stick to high energy." In a retrospective review of 'Mr. Bad Guy', Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic considered the song one of the album's "winners", "help[ing] make this an outstanding record from start to finish".
