"Emotions in Motion" is a 1982 single by American rock musician Billy Squier, which was featured on his platinum selling album of the same name and released as the first single from it. The song is notable for featuring Queen members Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor on backing vocals. The former would later collaborate again with Squier, on his 1986 single "Love Is the Hero".
At the time of its release, "Emotions in Motion" received only modest chart success in the US and was later overshadowed by his next single "Everybody Wants You", which became a significantly bigger hit. The single fared better in Canada and remains his second-best charting song there right after "The Stroke".
The B-sides, "Catch 22" and "It Keeps You Rockin'", are also taken from the album Emotions in Motion.
