Different was released in November 2012 as the second single from Take the Crown. Written by Robbie Williams with producers including Jacknife Lee, the track followed the commercial success of Candy.
The recording features a polished pop arrangement with orchestral accents and a steady mid tempo build. Its expansive chorus and layered production align with the arena oriented sound that characterised the parent album.
Lyrically, Different reflects on transformation and personal growth, addressing the desire to change while acknowledging past experience. The song balances introspection with a declarative refrain.
When I look at you, I can see something different.Robbie Williams
The single reached the UK top ten and continued the promotional campaign for Take the Crown. It remains part of the album’s polished, contemporary pop phase in Williams’ catalogue.
