About It's Only Us

"It's Only Us" is a song released in 1999 by British singer Robbie Williams, as a double A-side with a cover of "She's the One". Unlike "She's the One", "It's Only Us" was a brand new recording made for the FIFA 2000 soundtrack. As such, it did not originally appear on I've Been Expecting You but was eventually added to its 2002 reissue (replacing "Jesus in a Camper Van" due to copyright issues). The song became Williams' second number-one single in the United Kingdom, spending one week at number one. "It's Only Us" is the theme song to the EA Sports release of FIFA 2000, something which Williams agreed to on the condition that his team, Port Vale F. C., was included in the game. The video features a computer-animated Williams as part of the England football team and flying through space. The official soundtrack to FIFA 2000, entitled FIFA 2000: The Album, was released in 1999 and "It's Only Us" was the "official single" from it. The music video for the song also featured as an Enhanced CD feature on the album.

And they want us to grow up
We don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all kicking off

Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us

We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From Stoke-on-Trent to Beverley hills

We know it's all kicking off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us
It's only us

Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us
It's only us
