Published: December 6, 2024 -- Robbie Williams has today released a brand new version of his iconic song ‘Angels’, which features on the soundtrack of his musical biopic, ‘Better Man’. Listen to the reworked version BELOW.

Re-recorded and arranged especially for the movie, the new cinematic version of the global smash hit is featured in a moving part of the film where Robbie says goodbye to a beloved family member. The highly-anticipated movie, which had its European premiere in London last week, hits UK cinemas on December 26 with tickets available now here.

‘Angels’ was written by Robbie and long-time collaborator Guy Chambers – a result from only their second writing session together at Guy’s North London flat in the 1990s. The song was included on Robbie’s debut 1997 solo album, ‘Life Thru a Lens’, and released as a single in December that year cementing Robbie’s solo star status. The song remains Robbie’s best-selling single and is revered around the world as one of the most loved songs of all time.

The 'Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' album is released digitally via Columbia Records on December 27 with a physical release to follow which can be pre-ordered now. The album will be available in three formats – CD, cassette and alt cassette.

The artwork for the soundtrack album mirrors the film poster - an homage to Williams’ unforgettable album cover, ‘Life Thru a Lens’. The original album cover image was taken by renowned music and portrait photographer, Andy Earl. The film poster and soundtrack artwork sees Williams portrayed as he is seen throughout the entire film - as a CGI monkey. Discussing the film, director Michael Gracey honed in on Robbie referring to himself as a monkey over and again. He said: “Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story – and that’s how he sees himself.” Watch the trailer for the film here.

The track listing for the soundtrack album in full is -

  1. Feel
  2. I Found Heaven
  3. Rock DJ
  4. Relight My Fire
  5. Come Undone
  6. She’s the One
  7. Something Beautiful
  8. Land of 1000 Dances
  9. Angels
  10. Let Me Entertain You
  11. Better Man
  12. My Way
  13. Forbidden Road

Robbie recently announced his highly anticipated tour for 2025, which will see the global icon perform in cities across the UK, Ireland and Europe next summer. The ‘Robbie Williams Live 2025’ tour will open in Edinburgh on May 31. The tour will then take in London, Manchester and Bath, before heading across Europe with dates in countries including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden. More information and tickets for the tour are available now from tickets.robbiewilliams.com.

Robbie is one of the most decorated music artists in the world with six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, a huge 85 million album sales worldwide, 14 UK Number 1 albums and a record 18 BRIT Awards – more than any other artist. In July he returned to BST Hyde Park in London for a critically-acclaimed and sold-out headline show. In November 2023 Netflix released Robbie’s highly-anticipated four-part documentary series, titled ‘Robbie Williams’ which hit the Netflix Number 1 spot in 22 different countries. Robbie has raised £106 million to date for charity worldwide since co-founding Soccer Aid for UNICEF in 2006.
