The song was released on January 25, 1980.Queen worked with German record producer Reinhold Mack to produce this track.It has been hypothesized that this friend was actually Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, whose romantic relationship with longtime sweetheart Mary Austin ended in December of 1976 after he revealed to her that he was bisexual. His inspiration for writing the song was bearing witness to the dissolution of the marriage of a close friend. Brian May composed “Save Me”, in its entirety.Either way, what is abundantly clear is that he is actively seeking external, romantic assistance in dealing with his newfound, extremely-worrisome loneliness. So rather, as alluded to earlier, he can be entreating a new love to come and intervene in the matters of his heart. However, based on much of the lyrics throughout, a reconciliation does not appear as a realistic possibility. So perhaps this song is a plea for her to come back into his life. For instance, he admits that he will never stop loving his estranged wife.
But as aforementioned, who exactly he is making this request to is unclear. Due to this inner turmoil he is experiencing, the narrator asks for someone to come and “save” him.
