"Living on My Own" is a song by Freddie Mercury, from the album "Mr. Bad Guy".

It was released as a single (back with "My Love Is Dangerous") in September 1985 in the UK where it peaked at no.50. The July 1985 release in the United States had "She Blows Hot & Cold" as it's B-side.

In 1993, almost two years after Mercury's death, a remix of the song was released and reached no.1 in the UK, becoming Mercury's only solo number one hit. It remained at the top for 2 weeks and was in the charts for a total of 13 weeks.

The video for "Living on My Own" featured footage of Mercury's 39th birthday party in 1985 in Ottolandia.
