Background
According to Robbie;
"Guy Chambers and I started writing together again after a break of about ten years, and ‘Shine My Shoes’ came out of the first batch. It’s in the spirit of a Sammy Davis Jr. song. In the biopic The Rat Pack there’s a dream sequence where Sammy Davis Jr. is dancing against the racists. I’m singing against the haters and the naysayers, giving them my time in the form of a swing song detailing exactly why they should hate me. The smugness will infuriate the haters, and the people who kind of like me will just think that it’s sweet."
