The Video
Was first aired in July 1996, and was shot in Miami, USA, Directed by David Mouldy
This was Robbie's first solo single.
Because Robbie hadn't got around to recording his own version of "Freedom" , he had to mime to George Michael's version instead.

Robbie says that because of the constraint forced on him by his ex-record company he needed something quick to put out, to keep him in the public eye.
And as he was not sure about which of his tunes he should go with first, so he put "Freedom" out, as a statement. Also he says, the lyrics in the song fit everything he has been through when leaving Take That.
