"Too Much Love Will Kill You" was composed by May, Frank Musker and Elizabeth Lamers sometime between the sessions for "A Kind of Magic" and "The Miracle". They wrote it in the US and Mercury sang on it. However, there were some problems with the companies representing publishing rights for Musker and Lamers so they could not release the song properly on "The Miracle". The song even appears in the original track listing between "I Want It All" and "The Invisible Man", but was deleted. This is the only track on the "Made in Heaven" album which wasn't reworked by the remaining members of the band during 1993–1995 sessions, but is the original 1989 mix prepared for "The Miracle".
