The title song from Swings Both Ways, Robbie collaborated with Rufus Wainwright. Apparently, they’re quite fond of double meanings.

Robbie wrote: “Written by me, Guy Chambers and Rufus Wainwright in a room in the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles one afternoon earlier this year. Rufus has probably written some of the best songs of the last fifteen years and it’s an honour to have him on my record. I think I said ‘everybody swings both ways…’, but then Rufus brought a lot to the table with this song. He works so quickly, and he’s so smart and so succinct that it’s kind of scary being in a room with him – you’ve got to keep pace the best you can. Songs are just stories. We’re now in a period of history where a male straight pop star with a following can sing a song that’s basically saying ‘Yeah, I help up for the other team, if they’re short’. And, in this song, I do.”
