  • This song was originally penned by Ed Sheeran with songwriters Benny Blanco and Steve Robson. Robbie Williams recalled to The Sun how he directly appealed to Ed Sheeran during one panicky night:

    "[I thought,] days are running out for the album, 'Have I got enough hits? Are there enough hits? I've got Ed Sheeran's email. I'll send him an email and see what happens. One last hope'.

    "[I wrote,] 'Dear Ed, Robbie Williams here. Do you have any spare hits?' And he sent me this song about 'Pretty Woman'. I added a chorus and I think the song is fully formed.

    "I'm honored that he said yes and I'm honored that I get to be in Ed's thoughts. You can't not be a fan of Ed. He's a phenomena. And also the nicest guy. He's incredibly talented."

This gathering reminds me of a Robbie Williams song, “Me and My Monkey.” Best incorporation of a mariachi band in a pop song. And the craziest song about addiction ever written. Never go on a road trip to Vegas when the monkey on your back left his wallet in El Segundo.

Into the Silence (Ambient Mix) appears on Under the Radar Vol. 3 and was written by Robbie Williams, Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, produced by Metcalfe. It is a reimagined version of the closing track from Take the Crown, one that strips back the guitars and drums of the original to focus on atmosphere and emotion. Williams has described the song as one of his proudest achievements, calling it “my finest hour.”

Williams explained that Into the Silence was written during a moment of inspiration when he felt a rare sense of creative wonder. Driving through Los Angeles after recording it, he played the demo repeatedly in his car, overwhelmed by what he and his collaborators had created. The song’s haunting beauty and emotional openness quickly made it a fan favourite, and this ambient mix heightens its sense of stillness and reflection.

In this version, shimmering synth textures replace the original’s driving guitar line, allowing Williams’ voice to float over a spacious, meditative arrangement. His vocal performance carries both fragility and strength, repeating the plea “Don’t fall apart again, don’t take my heart” with quiet intensity. The reworked production deepens the song’s introspection, emphasising the vulnerability at its core.

“I think it’s my finest hour. When you’ve just finished writing a song and you play it back, you hope that wonder translates to other people. With this one, it always has.”Robbie Williams

Fans have praised the ambient mix for its emotional purity and sense of serenity, with many considering it one of the standout moments of the Under the Radar series. The track’s ethereal arrangement and lyrical tenderness create a timeless meditation on heartbreak and hope, reaffirming its place as one of Williams’ most moving compositions.

Came across thisagain lately , it's actially a great song & love the lyrics ❤️

INDESTRUCTIBLE

I close my eyes

All my life
Been indestructible
I've never known why
Oh, tell you no lie
Indestructible
I'm never gonna die

My dignity was taken from me
And I cry, I cry
Been beaten up abroad
And been brought down to my knees
But survived, I survived

Undefeated, defeated by nothing
Undefeated, running and running
Undefeated, but still I keep coming

Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
All of my life

I close my eyes

Tell me I'm wrong
I'm indestructible
I'll come to no harm
Oh, tell me 'bout you
You're indestructible
But fragile, too

I've only been what I've wanted to be
What's the crime? What's the crime?
Did my best, didn't always succeed
But I've tried, I've tried

Undefeated, defeated by nothing
Undefeated, running and running
Undefeated, but still I keep coming

Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
All of my life

I close my eyes


In search for something sacred
I end up chasing my own shadow in the dark
And all the times
I thought I wouldn't make it
I couldn't take it
But it was always in my heart
In my heart

Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
I don't know why

Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
All of my life
Indestructible
I don't know why

Info on song - Credit to Indestructible | Tracks | Robbie Williams Database

Indestructible appears on Under the Radar Vol. 3 and was written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, produced by Chambers and Richard Flack. The track incorporates elements of the 1991 house classic Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) by Crystal Waters, written by Waters and Neal Brian Conway. Williams and Chambers used the sample as a springboard for a powerful, affirming anthem that balances vulnerability with resilience.

Williams described the song as a “bombastic version of The Impossible,” reflecting his determination to endure life’s challenges. “Sometimes you need to feel indestructible just to leave the house, to get on stage or to talk to a friend,” he said. The lyric blends defiance and honesty, with lines such as “My dignity was taken from me and I cried, I cried, been beaten up and brought down to my knees,” followed by the redemptive chorus “You’re indestructible.”

Musically, Indestructible combines an uplifting dance rhythm with soulful vocal phrasing and sweeping strings. Its energetic beat and electronic textures echo Williams’ early club influences while maintaining a pop sensibility rooted in his work with Chambers. The song’s dynamic progression and euphoric final chorus evoke both emotional release and triumph over adversity.

“We all have moments when we feel like ten men or ten women, and moments when we’re vulnerable. This is standing in the middle of those two and owning yourself.”Robbie Williams

The lyric video, designed by Orly Brodey, features animated comic-book imagery and a stylised depiction of Williams driving through neon cityscapes, underlining the song’s theme of resilience through motion. Fans praised Indestructible for its infectious rhythm and empowering message, considering it one of the standout anthems of the Under the Radar series. Its mixture of house nostalgia and emotional candour made it a natural successor to the introspective tone of The Impossible.
