All Climb On

About

All Climb On is the fifth track on Under the Radar Vol. 1, written by Robbie Williams, Guy Chambers and Chris Heath, and produced by Chambers with Richard Flack. It was first conceived in Los Angeles in January 2013, during writing sessions for Swings Both Ways. Though it did not fit that album’s concept, Williams retained it for this self-released collection, where its introspective tone found a natural home.

The song is a mid-tempo anthem built around piano and strings, combining optimism with melancholy. Williams described it as a message to himself, a reminder to persevere when life feels overwhelming. The refrain “climb on” becomes both literal and symbolic, urging resilience in moments of despair. It is one of the most personal tracks on the record, balancing vulnerability with determination.

His vocal performance is understated yet emotionally resonant, allowing the lyrics’ themes of mortality and courage to take focus. With its sweeping bridge and reflective melody, the song captures the spirit of renewal that defines much of Under the Radar Vol. 1.

“It’s a sort of message to myself because I can emotionally and physically give up, and it’s quite a frightening place to be when you decide you’ve given up. Hasn’t happened for a long time, but just in case, this is a message in a bottle to say no, climb on.”Robbie Williams

All Climb On has become one of Williams’ most cherished deep cuts, praised by fans for its sincerity and strength. Its uplifting message and elegant arrangement give it the quiet power of a hidden classic.
