Brian May wrote "Dragon Attack" on his own for The Game, the eighth studio album Queen released in June 1980 through EMI in Britain and Elektra in America, the record where they swung toward pop and, for the first time, let a synthesizer through the door.
Freddie Mercury sings lead with May and Roger Taylor behind him on backing vocals, May plays electric guitar, John Deacon plays bass and Taylor drums, with Deacon and Taylor both adding percussion. Mack co-produced it with the band and engineered it. The pop turn paid off: The Game became their only album to top the Billboard 200, and it held both of their US number-one singles, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust".
