Description
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info.
NME described the song, in a June 2022 interview with Matt Bellamy, as a "ballad-turned-Queen rocker".[3]. Later on, another review said that the song is a modern calling from with that of Queen's greatest song, Bohemian Rhapsody. Furthermore, Alt Note Magazine described Liberation as being Freddie-Mercurial and grandiose.
In the NME interview mentioned above, Bellamy said about the song that it is "leaning towards what I felt seeing the Black Lives Matter protests. I’m not gonna try to claim to have any understanding of what that culture’s been through or anything, but “intend to erase your place in history” was that feeling of anger… that emotion that you feel in the moment of revolution, where you just want to tear it down and destroy this, even to the extent of changing history itself – people pulling statues down. And “you stole the airwaves but the air belongs to us."
