About
Indestructible appears on Under the Radar Vol. 3 and was written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, produced by Chambers and Richard Flack. The track incorporates elements of the 1991 house classic Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) by Crystal Waters, written by Waters and Neal Brian Conway. Williams and Chambers used the sample as a springboard for a powerful, affirming anthem that balances vulnerability with resilience.
Williams described the song as a “bombastic version of The Impossible,” reflecting his determination to endure life’s challenges. “Sometimes you need to feel indestructible just to leave the house, to get on stage or to talk to a friend,” he said. The lyric blends defiance and honesty, with lines such as “My dignity was taken from me and I cried, I cried, been beaten up and brought down to my knees,” followed by the redemptive chorus “You’re indestructible.”
Musically, Indestructible combines an uplifting dance rhythm with soulful vocal phrasing and sweeping strings. Its energetic beat and electronic textures echo Williams’ early club influences while maintaining a pop sensibility rooted in his work with Chambers. The song’s dynamic progression and euphoric final chorus evoke both emotional release and triumph over adversity.
“We all have moments when we feel like ten men or ten women, and moments when we’re vulnerable. This is standing in the middle of those two and owning yourself.”Robbie Williams
The lyric video, designed by Orly Brodey, features animated comic-book imagery and a stylised depiction of Williams driving through neon cityscapes, underlining the song’s theme of resilience through motion. Fans praised Indestructible for its infectious rhythm and empowering message, considering it one of the standout anthems of the Under the Radar series. Its mixture of house nostalgia and emotional candour made it a natural successor to the introspective tone of The Impossible.
Lyrics
All my life
Been indestructible, I've never known why
Tell you no lie
Indestructible, I'm never gonna die
My dignity was taken from me and I cried
I cried
Been beaten up and been brought to my knees but survived
I survived
Undefeated, defeated by nothing
Undefeated, running and running
Undefeated, but still I keep coming
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, all of my life
I close my eyes
Tell me I'm wrong
I'm indestructible, I'll come to no harm
Tell me about you
You're indestructible but fragile too
I've only been what I wanted to be what's the crime
What the crime
Did my best didn't always succeed but I try
I try
Undefeated, defeated by nothing
Undefeated, running and running
Undefeated, but still I keep coming
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, all of my life
I close my eyes in search of something sacred
I end up chasing my own shadow in the dark
And all the times I thought I wouldn't make it
I couldn't take but it was always in my heart
In my heart
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, I don't know why
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, all of my life
Indestructible, I don't know why
