Interesting facts and trivia about Headlong. By Songfacts®.

Guitarist Brian May wrote this for his solo album, but when he listened to Freddie Mercury singing it, he decided to record it with Queen. He and his bandmates re-wrote the song, each earning a songwriting credit.

This song is about rushing into things without proper preparation. Rushing into something headlong is like jumping into something head first without thinking about consequences.
