The originalHighlander film and the Highlander series featured music written and performed by the British Rock band Queen. According to film director Russell Mulcahey, Queen had done a great score for Flash Gordon, so "...we gave them a 20-minute reel of different scenes and they went: “Wow!” We’d only expected them to do one song, but they wanted to write one each. Freddie Mercury did Princes of the Universe, Brian May did Who Wants to Live Forever, Roger Taylor did It’s a Kind of Magic."

The songs used in the movie appeared on the album A Kind of Magic, the twelfth studio album by the Queen, released in June 1986 by EMI Records in the UK and by Capitol Records in the US.
