When Every Song On The Better Man Soundtrack Plays In The Movie
Better ManRemixes Several Robbie Williams Songs Into Big Musical Numbers
“My Way” By Frank Sinatra feat. Carter J. Murphy & Steve Pemberton:A key throughline toBetter Manis the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, which plays early in the film and becomes a recurring element. The classic recording by Frank Sinatra is watched during the film’s opening scenes by Robbie and his father Peter, with the pair singling along together. The song establishes Peter’s obsession with “it” and not being a “nobody,” which will end up influencing much of Robbie’s artistic path in life. Frank Sinatra (as well as other similar singers) become a motif throughout the film, with “My Way” underscoring Robbie’s personal arc.
“Feel” By Robbie Williams feat. Carter J. Murphy & Steve Pemberton:“Feel” plays early inBetter Man, serving as the background music for Peter Williams' departure from his family. The song is sung by the younger version of Robbie (then still only known as Robert), delivering a sad ode to the “hole” he feels after his father’s departure, with the young Robbie dueting with an imagined version of his father. It’s a sad song that also serves as a transition point from the younger version of Robbie (played by Carter J. Murphy) into the more recognizable version who drives much of the plot.
“I Found Heaven” by Robbie Williams feat. Tom Bales & Adam Tucker:“I Found Heaven” is a track by the boy band group Take That, which is where Robbie Williams first found fame. The song plays during their initial efforts to garner attention in the gay club scene of the United Kingdom. The song’s poppy vibes factor well into the scene, which sees Robbie embrace being a performer and announce that he’s found his “people” by connecting with an audience.
“Rock DJ” by Robbie Williams:“Rock DJ” plays after Take That has been formally signed on for a record deal, setting up their growing success in the pop music scene. “Rock DJ” follows the band as they cause chaos on Regent Street, and serves as one of the film’s most overtly musical-inspired songs. The song also includes several references to the changing style and fashions that the group used during their heyday.
“Relight My Fire by Robbie Williams feat. Tom Bales & Adam Tucker:“Relight My Fire” serves as the last Take That song featuring Robbie in a major role, as he’s subsequently ejected from the band. The song is played during a large concert, with massive crowds seemingly unbothered by Robbie’s inability to keep up with the choreography and refusal to take a backseat to his bandmates on stage. The musical sequences take a serious turn following “Relight My Fire,” as the film shifts away to Robbie’s solo career.
“Come Undone” by Robbie Williams:“Come Undone” plays once Robbie Williams has been kicked out of Take That. It follows Robbie singing to himself while driving away in an increasingly dangerous manner. It’s a somber song that also reflects on Robbie’s instant celebrity success as well as his lingering issues over his father’s departure when he was a child. “Undone” also sets the stage for Robbie’s increasing self-loathing and eventual thoughts about self-harm, making it one of the more emotional beats in the film.
“She’s The One” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker & Kayleigh McKnight:“She’s The One” is the big romantic ballad ofBetter Man, and plays during Robbie’s courtship of fellow pop star Nicole Appleton on a yacht during a New Year’s celebration. A fellow pop star (played by Raechelle Banno in the film with Kayleigh McKnight credited as the singer on the track), “She’s The One” plays during a montage of Robbie and Nicole falling in love, getting engaged, and even coming close to starting a family before Nicole’s manager convinces her to have an abortion.
“Something Beautiful” by Robbie Williams:“Something Beautiful” serves an important role inBetter Man, serving as the first collaboration between Robbie and songwriter Guy Chambers. The musical number follows Robbie as he finally shares his lyrics with someone, with Guy quickly composing a backing score for the song while offering advice on how to tweak the song for greater effect.Better Manalso directly ties the song to the termination of Robbie and Nicole’s pregnancy, as the opening lyric “you can’t manufacture a miracle” are revealed in the film to have been written in the immediate aftermath of that decision.

“Land Of 1000 Dances” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker:“Land of 1000 Dances” serves as the music for Robbie’s rise to meteoric fame as a solo artist, starting as a private show for fifty people to arena performances alongside Tom Jones. The scene frequently cuts back and forth from increasingly large concerts to intense shots revealing the impact the success has on Robbie. The high energy tenor of the song gives the cuts to Robbie’s struggles adds an overwhelming element to the song’s brass elements, blaring drums, and purposefully repetitive chorus.
“Angels” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker:“Angels” plays after Robbie discovers that his beloved Gran has passed away while he’s been on tour, too distracted by his success and addictions to see her before she died. The song is one of the more emotional beats in the film, playing in the background during her funeral. The song builds from his mourning for his Gran to Robbie’s internal strife boiling over into the physical world, setting the stage for his self-destruction to reach a crescendo in the next track.
“Let Me Entertain You” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker:“Let Me Entertain You” plays during the Robbie’s concert Knebworth in 2003.Better Manrecreates many elements of that concert, keeping the focus on Robbie even as his largest audience ever loses it over his music. “Let Me Entertain You” also serves as the crescendo of Robbie’s self-loathing, with the various visions of himself in the crowd eventually building to a massive battle scene where Robbie fights (and kills) many copies of himself.
10 Reasons Better Man’s Reviews Are So Positive
Better Man, the Robbie Williams biopic, is receiving fantastic reviews, with many aspects of the film contributing to its stellar reception.
“Better Man” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker:“Better Man” plays during Robbie’s struggle with self-harm and ultimate decision to attend rehab. This sets the stage for him to grow as a person and finally make amends with the people he’s crossed, setting up a number of appearances from supporting characters that Robbie enraged over the course of the film. “Better Man” is a transformative song inBetter Man’s climax, with the softer and more vulernable core speaking to the ways Robbie has changed between his more chaotic state in “Let Me Entertain You” compared to his later years.
“My Way” by Robbie Williams feat. Adam Tucker & Steve Pemberton:The reprise of “My Way” serves as the final major song ofBetter Man, reflecting the real life concert Williams held at the Royal Albert Hall in 2001. While this is reflective of real life,Better Manadds the detail that Robbie’s father Peter joins him on stage, signifying their reconciliation. Peter did eventually join his son on stage at later concerts, and Robbie did finish his 2001 Royal Albert Hall concert with “My Way,” but this gives the song a greater thematic importance toBetter Man.

The credits show pictures of Robbie and his real life family from over the years, highlighting the genuine inspirations for the film’s characters.
