"Delilah" is a song by British rock band Queen. Written and sung by Freddie Mercury, it was originally released on their fourteenth studio album Innuendo in 1991. The song was released as a single on 14 December only in Thailand. This is one of the few Queen songs not to feature drummer Roger Taylor.

Composition

Delilah is a song Mercury penned for his favourite female tortoiseshell cat, which was called Delilah. It was one of the first completed tracks on the album.^[1] Brian May recorded his solo using a talk box. It was written in the key of G Major.^[2] Reportedly, Roger Taylor was not fond of the song and agreed to let it be included in the album only at Mercury's insistence.
