Freedom! '90

Freedom! '90

"Freedom '90" (also known simply as "Freedom") is a song written and performed by George Michael, and released on Columbia Records in 1990. The "'90" added to the end of the title is to prevent confusion with an international hit by Michael's former band, Wham!, also titled "Freedom".

It was the third single taken from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, "Freedom '90" was one of a few uptempo songs on this album, it was also a major hit and went to #8 in the US. The song is referring to George's past success with Wham! but also shows a new side of himself as a new man, who is more cynical about the music business than he had been before. Michael refused to appear in the video and let a group of supermodels appear instead.

George Michael performed the song during the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
