Sexed Up
"Sexed Up" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, released as the fourth and final single from his fifth studio album, Escapology, in November 2003. It was originally recorded for Natalie Imbruglia, who turned it down. Williams had earlier released it in 1998 in demo form as the B-side to his single "No Regrets".
There are two versions of the song, the album/single version and an unplugged version. The unplugged version has one different lyric line and the guitar solo before the bridge is one measure longer.
