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 Britpop band `The Lemon Trees`. Williams thought it was an amazing song, but made some changes on the lyrics, including hooks in arrangement and music.
