His new track hasn’t been well received by some.
Fresh from his rather lewd appearance on the Graham Norton Show, Robbie Williams has a busy few months ahead as he promotes and performs his 11th studio album, Heavy Entertainment Show.
If you were watching the former Take That star on Friday night then you might have heard his new track ‘Party Like A Russian’.
While adopting a fake accent, he sings about drink, drugs and Russian dolls while using a sample from Dance Of The Knights, a song that’s composed by Russia’s Sergey Prokofiev.
After seeing the video and reading the lyrics, certain Russian tabloids have called for Williams to never be allowed to perform in Russia again while others feel that the track is racist.

The singer previously denied that the track has anything to do with Vladimir Putin and we’ll let you make your own mind up if the following lyrics and video are offensive.
I love you Dan but this song is definitely not about Mr Putin xhttps://t.co/ViIACar1Z4

Here’s the video and the lyrics.
Hey
Hey
Hey
It takes a certain kinda man with a certain reputation
To alleviate the cash from a whole entire nation
Take my loose change and build my own space station
(Just because you can, man)
Ain’t no refutin’ or disputin’ I’m a modern Rasputin
So contract disputes to some brutes in Louboutin
Act highfalutin while my boys put the boots in
(Yeah you can, can)
(Spasibo!)
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you got concussion oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian oh
Have it like an oligarch
Oh oh oh oh (hey)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’ve got Stoli and Bolly and molly, so I’m jolly
And I’m always off my trolley, so I never say sorry
There’s a doll inside a doll inside a doll inside a dolly
(Hello, Dolly)
I put a bank inside a car inside a plane inside a boat
It takes half the Western world just to keep my ship afloat
And I never ever smile unless I’ve something to promote
I just won’t emote
(Spasibo!)
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you got concussion oh
We’ve got soil and we’ve got coal
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian oh
Have it like an oligarch
Raz, dva, tri, chetyre
Cause the Russian boys, we’re everywhere
There’s revolution in the air
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you got concussion oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian oh
Have it like an oligarch
