Friends Again was released in 1999 as a compilation album associated with the television series Friends. The record formed part of the show’s broader soundtrack marketing during its peak international popularity.
Robbie Williams contributed a cover of the Pet Shop Boys’ I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind of Thing to the album. His version reinterpreted the 1993 single with a more guitar led pop arrangement, aligning it with the sound of his late 1990s solo material.
The inclusion of Williams on Friends Again reflected his growing profile beyond the UK, as the television series provided an international platform. The track stands as one of his less widely known soundtrack contributions during his early solo career.
While not a core release within Williams’ main discography, Friends Again remains a notable entry in his catalogue of compilation and soundtrack appearances at the end of the 1990s.
