Robbie Williams wrote "Eternity" with Guy Chambers as a tribute to his close friendship with Geri Halliwell; Chambers produced it with Steve Power, and Brian May of Queen plays electric guitar on it. It arrived in July 2001 as a double A-side with "The Road to Mandalay" and went to number one in the UK, ending up the country's 20th-biggest hit of the year, while on its own it topped the chart in New Zealand and made the top 10 in eight other countries.
For a hit, it led a strangely homeless life. It isn't on Sing When You're Winning or any other Williams studio album, and the full song had to wait for the 2004 Greatest Hits, though a comic snippet of it turns up in "Outtakes", the hidden track on Swing When You're Winning.
