Lead
  • It was written by Peter Svensson, and Sam Hollander in collaboration with Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald, Henry 'Circut' Walter, and Allan 'Kool Kojak' Grigg, the producers. →
  • It came together in a single-day collaboration: Grigg worked out its beat, Hollander conceptualised its title, and the melody "just came". → The song was created in one day: Grigg conceptualised the beat, Hollander thought the name of the song and the melody "just came".
  • to that of Queen 1977 single "We Will Rock You". → to that of the Queen single "We Will Rock You" (1997).
Background and conception
  • Co-producers Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald and Henry 'Circut' Walter ended up with writing credits on the finished recording too, as the sound of a song has as much to do with its identity.[1] → Why? The last part doesn't make much sense.
Composition and lyrical interpretation
  • of Queen 1977 single "We Will Rock You". → same as in lead, you need "the"
  • According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, → You don't need this bit.
  • F4 to C6 Unless one of them does a high "woo" exclamation, I find this very difficult to believe. Musicnotes are either right or wrong in their vocal range for the song. But oh well, it's sourced, so nothing I can do about it lol.

  • Hearst Magazines needs linking in FN6
  • Guardian Media and News needs linking in FN9. And it's actually News and Media, not Media and News
