About this Release
Win Some Lose Some was released in 2013 as a single from Swings Both Ways. The track features Robbie Williams in duet with Michael Bublé, continuing the album’s emphasis on collaborative swing recordings.
Written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, the song is one of the album’s original compositions rather than a reinterpretation of a standard. Its arrangement draws on classic big band instrumentation, with brass sections and a brisk, mid century inspired rhythm.
Lyrically, Win Some Lose Some reflects on risk and reward in relationships, delivered through a conversational exchange between the two vocalists. The interplay highlights the stylistic affinity between Williams and Bublé within the swing genre.

The single reinforced the collaborative concept of Swings Both Ways and contributed to the album’s commercial success. It remains a notable pairing within Williams’ catalogue of duets.
