"Keep Yourself Alive" is the debut single by the British rock band Queen. Written by guitarist Brian May, it is the opening track on the band's self-titled debut album (1973). It was released as Queen's first single along with "Son and Daughter" as the B-side.
"Keep Yourself Alive" was largely ignored upon its release and failed to chart on either side of the Atlantic. In July 1975 the song was re-released in the US backed with "Lily of the Valley" and "God Save the Queen".[4]
In 2008, Rolling Stone rated the song 31st on its list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".[5]

Their first single Keep Yourself Alive is as brash a slice of glammy power-pop as you'll hear and Funny How Love Is hints at a Phil Spector sound.
