About this Release
Something Beautiful was released in May 2003 as the third single from Escapology. Written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, the song continued the album’s sequence of commercially successful singles.
Produced by Chambers, the track opens with a gospel influenced vocal arrangement before moving into a piano led pop structure. Backing vocals and layered harmonies contribute to its expansive, uplifting sound.
Lyrically, Something Beautiful focuses on renewal and optimism, contrasting with some of the darker introspection elsewhere on Escapology. Its affirmative chorus and spiritual undertones give the song a distinctive place within the album’s track list.
You can’t manufacture a miracle.Robbie Williams
The single reached the UK top five and further reinforced the commercial impact of Escapology. It remains a notable example of the more hopeful strand of Williams’ early 2000s songwriting.
