"Kids" started out as a song for Kylie Minogue and ended up a duet. She had asked Robbie Williams for songs for Light Years, her first album for Parlophone, and he and his writing partner at the time, Guy Chambers, came up with this one. Williams felt the spark between the two of them, turned it into a duet and claimed it for his own record too, with Chambers producing.
Released on October 9, 2000, it was the second single from Williams' third album, Sing When You're Winning, following "Rock DJ", and the third from Minogue's seventh, Light Years. His rap verse, which has him sizing himself up against Sean Connery, was cut entirely from the radio version and from Minogue's album. The pair re-recorded it with a funkier arrangement for Williams' 2022 compilation XXV.
