"Lazy Days" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. It was released in the United Kingdom on 14 July 1997 as the second single from his debut studio album Life thru a Lens (1997). The song became a top ten hit in the United Kingdom, but success was limited elsewhere.
A demo version of "Lazy Days" is included as a B Side on the "Millennium" CD2 single under the title "Lazy Days (Original Version)". It has significant differences in the arrangement and lyrics.
According to Williams, the song is about being young, being optimistic on the future, and don`t be afraid of committing mistakes.
Music video
Williams took a day out of rehab to shoot the video for the song, and he explained it was "a bonkers video, 'cause that's how my head was at the time, I think".[1] Williams explained that Lazy days was a song previously written by Guy Chambers, during his spell in the brit pop band `The Lemon Trees`. Williams thought it was an amazing song, but made some changes on the lyrics, including hooks in arrangement and music.
