Tear It Up is a song by Queen written by Brian May as the second song from the eleventh album The Works, where it would be released as a single with Hammer To Fall on the A-side.

History[]

Composition[]

May wrote this song as an attempt to revive Queen's old sound, notably featuring riffs from the intro to the song "Liar". When performed live during The Magic Tour, May would skip to the intro from "Liar" then go into the beginning of the song. It features stomping percussion similar to "We Will Rock You". The demo features May doing the vocals instead of Mercury.
