"Go Gentle" is a song by British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, released as the lead single from his tenth studio album Swings Both Ways (2013).
The song was written by Robbie Williams, Guy Chambers and Chris Heath.
It was written when she first arrived on the planet and I'd been a selfish popstar for most of my life and then all of a sudden I've been asked to take care of this whole person.

[3] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating: "The singer's showmanship makes him a natural when it comes to the bravado and assurance of swing music [...] But with a classic whistle line, a smooth melody and Robbie's undiminished star quality, we're pretty certain 'Go Gentle' will stand the test of time to serve its true purpose."
