"Delilah" is a song by British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury (but credited to Queen) and sung by him, 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. Brian May recorded his solo using a talk box. It was written in the key of G Major. Reportedly, Roger Taylor was not fond of the song and agreed to let it be included in the album only at Mercury's insistence.
