The song was released in October 1981 and quickly made its mark on the U.K. charts, entering at number eight. Within a few weeks, it climbed to number one and held the top spot for two weeks. This achievement gave Queen their second U.K. chart-topper and Bowie his third.
Intrigued by Queen’s project, Bowie made an impromptu visit to their studio. A spontaneous jam quickly turned into a co-writing session, with Bowie later recalling, “This is stupid, why don’t we just write one?” as remembered by Roger Taylor.
May recalled, “So we all did, and then we compiled all the bits and pieces—and that’s what ‘Under Pressure’ was based on; all those random thoughts.”
May told Mojo in 2008, “It was hard, because you had four very precocious boys and David, who was precocious enough for all of us. David took over the song lyrically.”
Despite the creative challenges, “Under Pressure” became a global hit and an anthem of the era. In 2018, Rolling Stone readers named it the second-best collaboration of all time. Clearly, a little bit of “avant-garde” went a long way.
