The idea of Freddie Mercury involving a symphony orchestra was not realized due to lack of time, and as a result, the album was partially arranged with synthesizers and a drum machine. The song "Barcelona", which gave the album its name, became the anthem of the city hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics in Spain.
