Iconic Netherlands single sleeve for Queen's "Now I'm Here" and "Lily of the Valley," featuring a monochrome portrait of all four band members.

Released from their third studio album, Sheer Heart Attack (1974). Written by Brian May, the song is noted for its gritty guitar riffs and vocal harmonies. The song was a live favourite, performed at virtually every concert from late 1974 to 1986.

The song draws on May's fond experiences of the band's US tour earlier in 1974. Mott the Hoople, whom Queen was supporting, are referenced in the line: Down in the city, just Hoople and me.

The song was also featured on the 1981 compilation album Greatest Hits and the 1997 compilation album Queen Rocks. In March 2005, Q magazine ranked "Now I'm Here" at number 33 on its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
