Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artist four times, Outstanding Contribution to Music twice, an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s. According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), he has been certified for 20.2 million albums and 8.66 million singles in the UK as a solo artist. Five of his albums have also topped the Australian albums chart, and has sold 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He also topped the 2000–2010 UK airplay chart. His three concerts at Knebworth in 2003 drew over 375,000 people, the UK's biggest music event to that point. In 2014, he was awarded the freedom of his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent and had a tourist trail created and streets named in his honour. Williams' thirteenth album, XXV was released on 9 September 2022.
After 15 years, Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 to co-write and perform lead vocals on their album Progress, which became the second-fastest-selling album in UK chart history and the fastest-selling record of the century at the time. The subsequent stadium tour, which featured seven songs from Williams' solo career, became the biggest-selling concert in UK history when it sold 1.34 million tickets in less than 24 hours. In 2011, Take That frontman Gary Barlow confirmed that Williams had left the band for a second time to focus on his solo career, although he stated that the departure was amicable and that Williams was welcome to rejoin Take That in the future. Williams has since performed with Take That on three separate television appearances, and collaborated with Barlow on a number of projects such as the West End musical The Band.
Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the words of others you've heard
True, I've been seen with someone new
That doesn't mean I've been untrue?
While we're apart, all the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
True, I've been seen with someone new
That don't mean I've been untrue?
While we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
Please do nothing till you hear it from me
Please do nothing till you hear it from me
Baby you never will
That's the truth I'm a liar
And don't tell your mama
The song "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me" is a cautionary tale about gossip and trusting the words of others. The opening lines indicate that the singer is not interested in hearing rumors or gossip about their relationship and that they want their partner to wait until they hear directly from them. The singer acknowledges that other people may be trying to tear their relationship apart, but it is all over their head, and they do not want to get caught up in it.
The chorus urges the listener to consider their romance and not to believe everything they have heard through the grapevine. Although the singer has been seen with someone new, they want to assure their partner that this does not mean they have been unfaithful. They express their true feelings for their partner, even while they are apart, and ask that their partner wait to hear the truth from them before taking any action.
The song is a powerful reminder to trust your own instincts and not be swayed by the opinions of others. It is a theme that is especially relevant in today's world, where social media and gossip can have a profound impact on relationships and reputations.
