Let me entertain you (as a monkey): Robbie Williams has shared his biopic banger ‘Forbidden Road’

Robbie Williams has released a new single, ‘Forbidden Road’, taken from the soundtrack of his upcoming biopic ‘Better Man’.

Co-written by Williams alongside Freddy Wexler and Sacha Skarbek, and produced by Dan Romer and Freddy Wexler, the track appears at the end of the film.

The ‘Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)’ will be released digitally via Columbia Records on 27th December, with physical formats to follow on CD, cassette and alt cassette.

“Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story – and that’s how he sees himself,” explains director Michael Gracey.

Williams has also not long announced his return to live performances with the ‘Robbie Williams Live 2025’ tour across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
