"Kids" is a duet between singers Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, released as the second single from Sing When You're Winning, Williams' third studio album, and the third single from Light Years, Minogue's seventh studio album. Williams and his then songwriting partner Guy Chambers co-wrote the song for Minogue. The track was written when Minogue approached Williams to write her some songs for what would be her first album under Parlophone, Light Years. It was then that Williams felt the chemistry and decided to turn the song into a duet as well as include the track on his album and release it as a single. It was released on 9 October 2000 and reached number two in the United Kingdom while becoming a top-10 hit in five other countries. Williams performs a rap on the song comparing himself to Sean Connery and including the line "Press be asking do I care for sodomy/I don't know/Yeah, probably", which was entirely removed for radio play and the version on Minogue's album."Kids" was re-recorded for William's compilation album, XXV, released on 9 September 2022. Minogue and Williams recorded new vocals with an updated, funkier arrangement.
