Another powder was revolutionary. It seemed like something Queen had never done before and caused confusion in America. People thought it was an African-American group. Originally, Queen did not think it was "good enough" to be one of the singles from The Game (1980). Michael Jackson's intervention was prescient. "Freddie, I need a song about dancing cats... It's a fantastic song... I'll be mad if you don't release it." John Deacon's 'Cowboy' was Queen's bestseller 40 years ago and was their first number one hit on LOS40. Another One Bites the Dust is the fourth single from Queen's eighth studio album, The Game (1980). Produced by German Reinhold Mack and recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, the song marked a turning point in the band's musical style when they experimented with disco/funk rhythms for the first time.

Mercury liked the song, he liked it a lot. Brian May said in an interview with Mojo magazine: “Freddie's work was truly amazing. Dicey had an idea, but Dicey doesn't sing. All she did was suggest to Freddie what to do...and Freddie just came and did it. Over and over again until his throat bled...inspiring and taking the song to another level. Freddie loved this song and he was completely transformed when he sang it. He wanted to do something really special with this song. Curiously, the band had no intention of releasing the song as a single.

The disco funk sound was stylistically different from what was expected of Queen's music at the time. The group's sudden openness to "dance" sounds immediately created a creative rift within the group. Brian May and Roger Taylor were not at all comfortable as "disco" artists.

This was the single that took Queen America by storm. He gained a large following among the disco music public. Many people were convinced that this was an African-American group (even those who had never heard of Queen). Brian May had this to say about the misunderstanding it caused: "A lot of DJs played this song assuming we were a black band and Freddie was black." Queen was first heard on black music stations. John Deacon: "After the song was released as a single, some black music stations in North America started playing it, something I had never seen before."
