Robbie Williams has slammed the lyrics of one of his biggest-selling hits.
The 50-year-old music icon has been taking a walk down memory lane in recent weeks while promoting his biopic film Better Man.
And in an interview on BBC Breakfast, the former Take That star detailed exactly why he does not rate his 1998 track Millennium - even though it was his first-ever solo number-one single.
Interviewer Colin Paterson took to Instagram this week to comment, "I interviewed Robbie Williams for @bbcbreakfast about his Golden Globe-nominated chimpanzee biopic Better Man, which is spending its second week in the UK Box Office Top 10."
He added, "He was very funny on his dislike of his own song Millennium."
A clip from the interview showed Williams slating the track, blasting, "I just don't like the lyric in that song. I wrote that c**p."
Quoting the lyrics in question, he continued "'We've got stars directing our fate', have we? 'And we're praying it's not too late', are they? 'Cause we know we're falling from grace,' are we? 'Millennium' is just like welded onto the end there."
And with a final critical swipe, he added, "So er you asked me my memories and mine are, 'I could have done better there'."
Millennium featured on Williams's 1998 album I've Been Expecting You and samples the theme from the 1967 James Bond movie You Only Live Twice.
While his biopic film has won praise from critics and fans alike - with a CGI monkey taking on the role of the star himself as he previously explained he always felt "less evolved than other people".
