Songfacts®:

  • This song was recorded by Robbie Williams with Michael Bublé for his Swings Both Way album. Speaking of their collaboration, the Canadian swing singer told The Sun: "I don' t think there's anyone in my life, at this point, who I could relate to the way I could with Robbie. We' re around the same age, we've gone through a lot of the same things. He's just become a dad, I'm just about to. We both have problems, we both probably go too far with things we do. He just talks about it more than I do."
  • The pair used Williams' obsession with UFOs as inspiration. Bublé told The Sun: "It's catchy and fun, neo-swing. One of the lyrics is 'Soda pop, Yoda what?' Robbie wrote it when looking at UFOs."
