"Let Me in Your Heart Again" is a song by British rock band Queen. It was written by lead guitarist Brian May. It was intended for The Works but was never finished until 2014 when it was released on the compilation Queen Forever.

History

Originating from sessions for the band's 1984 studio album The Works, "Let Me In Your Heart Again" was written by May and originally recorded in Los Angeles in 1983. Speaking on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show in September 2014, May revealed that the band had initially found it impossible to complete the track, and that several different versions of the lyrics were written to make it easier for Mercury to sing. They eventually abandoned the song.

In preparing the track for Queen Forever, May stitched together parts from each of the existing Queen versions, before he and Taylor fleshed out the music track. Consequently, the final studio version contains very different lyrics from the Anita Dobson's 1988 version.

Music video

The music videos for both the album version video and the William Orbit mix ones feature unseen footage from the Works Tour at Brussels in 1984, and promo video clips "Who Wants to Live Forever," "A Kind Of Magic," "I Want It All," "One Vision," "Play the Game", "Barcelona," and "Living on My Own." Both the album version and the William Orbit mix videos appear on Queen's official YouTube page.

Anita Dobson version

It was eventually recorded by May's wife Anita Dobson (with May on guitar) and released on her 1988 studio album Talking of Love. Reportedly, Dobson used the Queen version(s) as a guide vocal.
