The track originally featured on the rock band’s 2024 album ‘Forever’, but it’s now been reimagined for their revisited guest-heavy version of the record, ‘Forever (Legendary Edition)’.
“Robbie is one of the greatest entertainers, period. I’ve loved his music for years, and I’m honoured to have him join me and the band on ‘We Made It Look Easy’. He’s lived this lyric. I knew he’d deliver,” said frontman Jon Bon Jovi of the collab. You can listen to it below.
The record also features guest artists like Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Ryan Tedder, the War & Treaty, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, and more. It arrives October 24, and you can pre-order/pre-save here.
The record was announced earlier this summer and saw the band drop Springsteen collab ‘Hollow Man’ as well as a new single ‘Red, White & Jersey’.
Meanwhile, Williams recently hosted an exclusive playback of his upcoming 13th solo studio album ‘BRITPOP’ at central London’s infamous Groucho Club which also has a star-packed list of collaborators including Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi (who appears on previously released first single ‘Rocket’), “a couple of songs” with Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, and one with Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
He also shared details of a new song about Morrissey that former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow co-wrote, and is about a stalker for the former Smiths frontman.
Last week Williams also performed a number of tracks at Camden Dingwalls from the forthcoming record.
The album was recently pushed back due to “scheduling issues” to February 6, 2026 which he has since said was due to avoid clashing with Taylor Swift‘s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’.
Last week Williams also announced a ‘Long 90s’ UK tour kicking off in Glasgow next February. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, November 28. You can visit here for more information and the tour dates here.
Speaking to NME about the record back in May, Williams opened up about his new guitar-driven sound. “I was playing it safe and I’ve not been driving my own car. I’ve not had my hands on the wheel through second-thinking myself and guessing what people like. I just wanted to do something that I like,” he said.
