Love My Life (XXV)

About

Love My Life continues the reflective tone of XXV. Originally featured on Heavy Entertainment Show in 2016, the song was re-recorded for the 2022 collection with a fuller orchestral sound arranged by Jules Buckley. The new version strips away the percussion and replaces it with a lush symphonic backdrop that reinforces its message of resilience and self-worth.

With drums removed, the focus shifts to Williams’s vocal and the melody’s clear simplicity. The arrangement leans on strings and choir harmonies, evoking the warmth of his live performances with the LMA Choir. The lyric’s optimism—“I am powerful, I am beautiful, I am free”—is framed with sincerity rather than bravado, reflecting the song’s purpose as a statement to his children and to himself.

Williams’s more mature vocal delivery complements the orchestral arrangement, adding emotional weight to lines that once sounded like an anthem now read as affirmation. The effect is tender and personal, demonstrating how his voice and outlook have evolved with age.

“My most successful songs have been re-orchestrated. It’s a very grown-up album with very talented people making my songs sound like they mean something.”Robbie Williams

In its XXV form, Love My Life becomes a timeless declaration of acceptance and strength, preserving the song’s heartfelt message while surrounding it with grandeur and grace.
