Don't Stop Me Now is a song by the British rock band Queen featured on their 1978 album Jazz. Written by lead singer Freddie Mercury, it was recorded in August 1978 at Super Bear Studios in Berre-les- Alpes (Alpes-Maritimes), France.
The song was written by Freddie Mercury during the sessions for Jazz. The band felt they were "getting better at having a good time" and the lyrics reflect this. Musically, the song builds on Mercury's piano playing, with John Deacon and Roger Taylor providing a bass guitar and drums backing track. The song also provides an example of Queen's trademark style of multitrack harmony vocals for the chorus lines.
